Exploring the intricate relationship between mass culture and intellectualism, this collection features Umberto Eco's insightful essays from the 1960s to the 1980s, including previously untranslated works. Divided into four sections, it delves into diverse topics such as the dynamics of mass media, the nature of counter-cultures, and the nuances of highbrow versus lowbrow culture. Eco's wit and erudition illuminate cultural phenomena, from Charlie Brown to Italian cinema, while challenging readers to reconsider the role of intellectuals in a mass culture landscape.
