Limitations of Cultural Studies

Lack of adequate

knowledge

Difficult to define which is

best culture

Study about what is

happening

Messing of reality

We don’t know studies of

culture within

Cultural study emphasis upon diversity of

approach and subject matter.

Cultural studies can at a time seem merely

an intellectual smorgasbord in which the

critic blithely combines artful helpings of

texts and objects and then finds deep

connections between them, without

adequately researching what a culture

means or how cultures have interacted.

• cultural studies used

many approaches at

time like, historicism,

feminism, etc.

• Some time we don’t

know what we are

doing in cultural

studies.

CULTURAL CRITIC AND HISTORIAN

• Cultural studies practitioners often know a

lot of interesting things and possess the

intellectual ability to play them off

interestingly against each other, but they

sometimes lack adequate knowledge of

the deep play of meaning.

• Historians have traditionally practiced to

analyze culture.

• We found lack of knowledge of the cultural

critic.

Cultural studies as “about whatever

is happening at the moment, rather

then about a body of texts created

in the past. Happening topics,

generally speaking, are the mass

media themselves, which, in a

postmodern culture, dominate the

cultural lives of its inhabitants, or

topics that have been valorized by

the mass media.”

CONFLICT BETWEEN STUDENT AND TEACHER

Some times students

complain that professors

who overemphasize

cultural studies tend to

downplay the necessity of

reading the classics, and

that they sometimes

coerce students into

“politically correct” views.

Cultural studies spoil the culture

What British people can’t do…

American people do it with the name of cultural studies.
