Abstract

The literary cannon nowadays leads the distinction between the "high culture" and "pop culture" kinds of literary works, which views the high culture as qualified works and pop culture as the minority one. In order to achieve the literariness, it is common for students of English Literature to analyze a work of high culture for their thesis. This matter, of course, had caused the pop culture to be even marginalized. Yet, contemporary works, which are categorized to be marginal, are highly produced nowadays. The writer herself views that this phenomenon might discourage young writers to create their works. Therefore, pointed to Arnold Toynbee's idea on postmodemism - there is no absolute truth, even in high and pop culture - she uses a contemporary work as the subject of her thesis. The work chosen is The Slim Shady LP by Eminem. She discerns this particular work as the representation of the marginal works with high-quality. It is out of ordinary, as the lyrics have been criticized to be violence. Nevertheless, it is the aim of the writer to find out how far the lyricist's personal life influences his works.
