Kitsch is the beautiful lie that eats truth. We chart the evolution of Kitsch from its origins as aspirational culture among the 19th C bourgeois to ubiquitous cultural language of the 21st Century consumer society. Along the way we dig into critical theory as applied to the analysis of mass culture and the development of totalitarian societies and learn tools to critically analyze the symbol stream of contemporary social and political life. Also we come up with a working definition of Art.
