	The Cultural Studies Issue - Cultural Studies als Studies in Industrial Culture
		Lawrence Grossberg (1994) schreibt: »Cultural Studies definieren zu wollen ist eine riskante Angelegenheit.« - um sich in der Folge auf 30 Seiten mit solchen (seiner Meinung nach mehr oder weniger fehlgeschlagenen) Versuchen auseinanderzusetzen.
		Doch gerade an den Cultural Studies wird sichtbar, daß ihre Forschungsgegenstände sich mit Regelmäßigkeit einer monodisziplinären Analyse entziehen.
		Cultural Studies dagegen wagen gezielt eine Theoriebildung in der terra incognita sich eben erst formierender und entwickelnder Phänomene.

	Taylor & Francis Journals: Welcome
		Cultural Studies is an international journal which explores the relation between cultural practices, everyday life, material, economic, political, geographical and historical contexts.
		After all, cultural studies is still almost impossible to define, especially given the enormous diversity of work that is carried on in its name.
		And despite the many misappropriations and misrepresentations of cultural studies, I now understand that it is precisely as a project—a radically contextual practice of the articulation of knowledge and power-- that cultural studies will continue to challenge dominant intellectual and political practices, and to look to the possibilities of the future.

	Structures vs. interaction, political economy vs. cultural studies
		The subtitle would imply that there is one cultural studies entity, one camp of advocates with shared beliefs and expectations who would come together in their rendezvous and agree on massive arguments in order to confront attacks from political economy.
		Cultural studies, on the other hand, deals with analyses of audiences and their reaction to the messages that are sent.
		The danger of a cultural studies approach that limits itself to isolated studies, for instance audience ethnography, is that it leads to «an accumulation of empirical verifications» that is «not adequate for purposes of open-ended cultural critique» (Ang, 1996: 137).

		Cultural studies is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the forms, practices and experiences of contemporary cultural life.

	What is Cultural Studies? \|\| Cultural Studies at George Mason University
		Cultural Studies provides a space for scholarly dialogues that draw on theory and methods from several disciplines—anthropology, history, literary studies, philosophy, political economy, and sociology.
		But whereas the traditional disciplines tend to produce stable objects of study, research in cultural studies attempts to account for cultural objects under conditions constrained by power and defined by contestation, conflict, and change.
		Cultural studies also emphasizes self-reflexivity: an awareness that scholars and their scholarship are themselves caught up in the social currents and in the global circulation of meanings being studied.
