The Centre for Popular Culture serves as a platform for interdisciplinary, transdisciplinary and multi-methodological scholarly research of global popular culture. Understood as a common body of globally accepted practices and beliefs marked by their availability in the form of commercial products and their omnipresence in the mass media, popular culture (or lived culture) is a phenomenon encompassing various everyday practices (from food and fashion to mass media and different forms of entertainment, such as literature, film, television, comic books, music, video games and sports) that can and should be observed from multiple points of view. The Centre aims to support, encourage, and participate in bilateral and multilateral projects, to serve as a hub for humanities and social studies scholars and students who wish to share their knowledge and experience, and to take part in projects related to popular culture, literature, film, art, historiography and sociology.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Executive Committee of the Centre for Popular Culture<\/strong><\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16400 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Matek-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Matek-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Matek.jpg 411w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16376 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jelas-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"259\" height=\"259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jelas-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jelas-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jelas-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Jelas.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-16394 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-212x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"212\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-723x1024.jpg 723w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-768x1087.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-1085x1536.jpg 1085w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-1447x2048.jpg 1447w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Poljak-Rehlicki-scaled.jpg 1808w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16382 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-222x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"210\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-222x300.jpg 222w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-759x1024.jpg 759w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-768x1036.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-1139x1536.jpg 1139w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-1518x2048.jpg 1518w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pataki-scaled.jpg 1898w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16388 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic-214x300.jpg 214w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic-732x1024.jpg 732w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic-768x1075.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic-1097x1536.jpg 1097w, https:\/\/www.ffos.unios.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Markasovic.jpg 1463w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 199px) 100vw, 199px\" \/><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 20%; text-align: center;\">Ljubica Matek, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>Director<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%; text-align: center;\">Danijel Jela\u0161, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Director<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%; text-align: center;\">Jasna Poljak Rehlicki, Ph.D.<\/p>\n<p>Member<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%; text-align: center;\">Jelena Pataki<\/p>\n<p>Member<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 20%; text-align: center;\">Valentina Markasovi\u0107<\/p>\n<p>Member<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Sub-department for English Literature Studies of the Department of English at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Osijek, founded the Centre for Popular Culture (CPC).
