Identities of individuals and groups, gender identities,or youth cultures are associated with popular phenomena like stars, images, and popular media.In this context, popular culture is to be understood as an intermediary between sociocultural and individualprocesses.The Doctorate School PLUS Popular Culture Studies is an interdisciplinary PhD training programmecurrently composed of PhD students from four departments (Art, Music and Dance Studies, CommunicationScience, English and American Studies, History, Education, Romance Studies) of the Universityof Salzburg.
