I've written a lot over the years about popular culture and its historical context. In writing about the Equalizer, I'm continuing this theme, but also stepping outside my earlier parameters.
As a professor of German culture and literature, I wrote about German-language (i.e. German and Austrian) popular culture, specifically in the era between the two world wars, 1919-1939 (more or less). Almost all leading German-language artists left Germany, then Austria from 1933-38, so I also wrote about the works and life of German artists in exile, mainly in the United States. The works I dealt with were popular literature (serialized novels, mass market literature) and films.
I have never written about contemporary American popular culture, nor have I ever written about a television show. I'm not going to do any research (I don't think), so what I'll put on my blog is simply what I think.
