Cultural Studies

Abstract

The term cultural studies , like similar phrases, women’s studies, media studies , and communication studies , immediately announces itself as a recent coinage and, simultaneously, hints at a lack of pedigree (unlike literature or English ). In the UK it has been associated with the newer university sector, and has been seen as an area with dubious credentials. Its development is part of a larger debate about English being subsumed by wider cultural influences, which became headline news over Colin MacCabe teaching modern French literary theory at Cambridge in the 1980s. However, though there have been a number of protests about cultural studies over the years, many of its concerns have now become fairly orthodox in the teaching of English literature. In 1991, for instance, Antony Easthope wrote a provocative book called Literary into Cultural Studies , linking the two areas, whereas, by the new century, their yoking had become quite commonplace (e.g. Barry 2002; Davis and Schliefer 1998). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
