The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia (2007-2024) is a nobrow Wikipedia fork by Jahsonic, built along these themes and sensibilities and keywords as well as these artists and theorists.
It evolved from Jahsonic.com[1] (1996-2007), a site that "explored the boundaries, bridges and intersections of culture", as Sholem Stein put it.
[edit]
Methodology
- "Method of this work: literary montage. I have nothing to say only to show." -- Passagenwerk (1927 - 1940) by Walter Benjamin
- This website is a "rhizome" and allows for multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points. --J. W. Geerinck
[edit]
Biases

- In biographies, lots of attention is given to romantic involvements (cherchez la femme and cherchez l'homme) and patronage.
- Geography: Eurocentrism, Francophilia, Francosphere, Anglosphere contrasted with a distinct preference for otherness and alterity
- Themes and sensibilities: these themes and sensibilities and keywords
- canonical artists and theorists
- Body genres
- Linguistic strategy: namesakes, homonymy and hyperonymy paronymy are important and strengthen self-referentiality of the encyclopedia.
- General: bias towards the cultish, the transgressive and the nobrow; stereotypical representations
- Music: bias towards black music, underground music, and experimental music
- Film: bias towards cult films, a kind disregard for all film awards
- Fiction: bias towards cult fiction and transgressive fiction, disregard for literary awards
- Art: bias toward transgressive art, erotic art, the fantastique and grotesque
- Genre: fantastique preferred over fantasy.
- The individual days of the year and the list of years are also biased in the sense that priority is given to items central to this wiki
