On Popular Art as a Source of Adult Learning
Litawa, Aleksandra
Pedagogy, Culture and Society, v31 n5 p887-898 2023
This article supports the thesis that popular art can be a source of learning for adults. Questions are framed in the context of the trend for public pedagogy and the andragogical concepts of learning put forward by Jack Mezirow and Knud Illeris. To illustrate the problem, selected popular culture texts from the field of movies, street art, and TV series are used. On the basis of the analyses conducted, three conclusions are formulated. The first is that popular art can be a source of transformative learning. The second conclusion shows that the human learning process that takes place in relation to popular art integrates three dimensions of learning: the cognitive, emotional, and social. The third conclusion points to popular art as a form of public pedagogy.
