Abstract
The book offers a series of mutually intertwined case study analyses of the mechanisms of transposing of popular culture texts that migrate across distinctive media and adapt their form and content. The analyses focus on the cultural status of such texts that originally belong to the sphere of popular culture as they may "decline" into the sphere of mass junk/trash culture or, on the contrary, they may "raise" their status and reach the sphere of high/elitist culture.
