I have to write an analytical essay comparing Venice Beach CA with Dick Hebdige’s articles Function of Subculture and The Unnatural Break.
It’s for my Cultural studies class and is about understanding and reading the world around us, so reading Venice Beach, located as it is in its particular moment and in its particular space. But, again, remember that Cultural Studies is also about recognizing the processes of interaction between media texts, spectators, institutions, and the ambient culture.
I have to use the two readings from below and key them in with Venice Beach. Please help me I’m really struggling.
