"Popular literature" is considered as a literary category. However, the idea which many reseachers assert does not seem to be valid, due to the lack of elements that constitute a particular literary genre. This article is going to show that the popular literature is not adequate to categorized as a literary genre on the basis of definitions of popular literature which critical discourses have proposed.
First of all, popular literature refers to the literature of people, a social class with low level of cultural capital. But this definition can not be valid in modern democratic society where social classes exist no longer. Certainly, frivolous reading still exists, but it is not only for particular readers. It can be considered as an alternative choice to the serious readings. Attempts to categorize certain texts by the criterion of readers can not be justified.
Secondly, the characteristics of popular literature, which critical discourses insist, consists strong commercial tendency to cater to the needs of readers. This reader-oriented attitude can be perceived; however, it can not constitute an objectively valid criterion since a literary text is a result of compromises between the expressive desire of an author and the expectations of the reader. An author is always conscious of his readers. It is difficult to determine how far an author satisfies the demands of readers in order to be categorized as a popular novelist.
According to the textual analysis, distinctive characteristics of popular literature constitute strategic elements aiming to attract and maintain interests of readers, including obscenity and sentimentality. As it is present in "pure" literature, these thematic components can not be considered as specific elements of popular literature. In the popular literature, a system of unity and rule, based on the common textual qualities, is absent. If we want a serious discussion on literary genre based on rigorously textual elements, it can be possible only with texts of such sub-genres like detective stories, science-fiction, and love romance.
