Abstract
In our global and eclectic—not to say chaotic—world one might be forgiven for thinking that the opposition between highbrows and lowbrows is a thing of the past. Our introduction sketches the contours of a crossover cultural formation that has always carried—and in times of all-out prohibition, smuggled—goods between the elites and the masses. The nobrow manifestations of our culture are not freaks of nature but the cultural norm. From a critical perspective, going nobrow means acknowledging that highbrow, lowbrow, and middlebrow are not measures of aesthetic value, but rather sociocultural categories that help organize our cultural creations and lives.
