The “Cultures” of Cultural Studies

2006
Like many critics associated with “cultural studies,” I draw on the definitions of culture elaborated by two of the most influential writers in the British cultural studies tradition: Raymond Williams and Dick Hebdige. These definitions are loose and multivalent; consequently, some contemporary work in cultural studies has tended either to reify the ...

Cultural Discourse Studies

2014
Mainstream discourse analysis, as well as communication studies, is basically Western and in many respects Westcentric. As such it is not only unhelpful to multicultural humanity in the process of accelerated globalization, but also counterproductive to human intellectual growth and prosperity.
