Catherine Baab-Muguira@CatBaabMuguira·Sep 8, 2017Replying to @vgrWhat about premium mediocre's relationship to Dwight Macdonald's notion of midcult? Lots of overlap. Midcult = premium mediocre of the 50s.1
Catherine Baab-Muguira@CatBaabMuguira·Sep 8, 2017Replying to @CatBaabMuguira and @vgrOr rather, do you see overlap? DM uses midcult to describe watered down, lesser versions of high cult/mass cult pretending not to be mass.1
