ELEMENTS OF POPULAR CULTURE IN JOHN FANTE'S NOVEL

DREAMS FROM BUNKER HILL
Summary: Popular culture represents a widespread set of beliefs and practices which
permeates every layer of modern society. This paper aims to seek for the elements of popular culture
and present the importance of their role in the plot of a literary work which does not belong to the
field of popular literature, John Fantes novel Dreams from Bunker Hill. The paper starts with an
attempt at defining the notion of popular culture as close as possible and determining a theoretical
framework. The analysis of the novel follows, with a particular emphasis on two of the most
significant elements of popular culture in this book, Hollywood film industry and professional

wrestling. The text observes a specific relationship between the main protagonist of the novel, Arturo
Bandini, and these aspects of popular culture, on his way toward fulfilling his dream of becoming a
famous writer. The paper ends with a conclusion that more attention should be paid to the study of
elements of popular culture in high literature at the academic level.
Key words: popular culture, cultural studies, literature, John Fante, Dreams from Bunker
Hill.
