My research moves across the intersections of arts and humanities with a sustained focus on cultural studies, American studies, and philosophy. I am particularly interested in how popular culture—especially music—functions as a site where identity, affect, and power are negotiated. Through close reading of lyrics, visual media, and digital discourse, I explore how youth culture articulates fragmented subjectivities within late modern and postmodern conditions.
Situated within cultural theory and contemporary philosophy, my work examines the circulation of American values through transnational media flows, paying attention to nostalgia, fandom, and emotional communities. I am attentive to how cultural texts—songs, novels, performances, and online narratives—produce meaning not merely as aesthetic objects but as social practices embedded in historical and political contexts.
Methodologically, I combine textual analysis with broader socio-cultural reflection, drawing from postmodernism, critical theory, and philosophy of culture. My broader aim is to contribute to interdisciplinary conversations on popular culture, globalization, and the philosophical dimensions of everyday cultural experience.
