- Abstract
With the evolution of education, teaching and learning not only take place within the formal education system, but also outside of schools. This interdisciplinary, multiple, lifelong learning pedagogy is referred as public pedagogy. Popular culture, with its function of reproducing and challenging hegemony, is considered to be a vital instrument of public pedagogy. The purpose of this article is to explore the educational significance of popular culture as public pedagogy. It adopts a discourse analysis approach through a documentary film Leftover Women to discuss about how popular culture facilitates feminine consciousness awakening and public’s learning. Finally, the article reveals that popular culture as public pedagogy has both entertainment and educative values.
