    What is the Cultural study?

                            

                                 

                           cultural study designss a recent and rapidly growing cross disciplinary enterprise of analyzing the condition that effect the production, reception and Culural significance of all the types of instructive practice and products; among this literature is counted as a mealy one of many forms of Culural “ Signifying Praises”   a chief concern is to specifying the franicing of the social, economic and political forces and power structure that are said to produce the diverse from Culural phenomena and to endow them with their social “ Meaning” their “ Truth”. The modes of the discourse in which there are discussed and their values and states.           

                           A prominent attempt in Culural study is to subvert the disintingtion in traditional criticism between “ high Literature” and “ high art “and what were consideration the lower forms that appeal to much larger body of consumer typically,culural studies payless attention to work in the established literary canon than to popular fiction best selling romances,lovestories,Journalism and adverting togather with other arts that have mass appeal search as Cartoon,Commic film, Television  “Soap Operas” and rock and rape music. Many Culural are devoted to the analysis and interpretion of object and social practices outside the realm of literature and the other art. This phenomena are viewed as endowed with meaning that are the product of social forces and conventions and that may either express or oppose the dominate structure of power in Culural in theory. There is no limited to kind of things and patterns of behaviour to which search and analyzing Culural “ Text ” maybe appealed current study deal with a specter rennin form vogue ( Fashion) body building though urban street fashions and from cross dressing to the social, gesture of smoking a cigarette.

                      Here There are four goals  of cultural studies:-

1) Cultural studies transcended the confines of particular discipline such as literary criticism.

2) Cultural studies are politically engaged.

3) Cultural studies deny the separation of “high” and “low” or elite and popular culture.

4)  Cultural studies analyze not only the cultural work, but the means of production.

     

1) Cultural studies transcends the confines of particular disciple such as literary criticism or history.                            
                          Cultural studies transcend the confine of a particular discipline such as literary criticism or history. “practiced in such journal as critical inquiry , representations, and boundary 2 , cultural studies involves scrutinizing the cultural phenomenon of a text – for example Italian opera, a Latino telenovela, the architectural styles of prisons, body piercing and drawing conclusion about the change in textual phenomena over time.

                   Cultural studies are not necessarily about literature in the traditional sense or even about “art”. In their introduction to cultural studies , editors Lawrence grossberg,cary nelson , and Paula trencher emphasize that the intellectual promise of cultural studies lies in the attempts to “ cut across diverse social and political interests and address many of the struggles within the current scene.”

-                            Intellectual works are not limited by their own “borders” as single texts, historical problems or disciplines , and the critic’s own personal connections to what is being analyzed Amy also be described.

    

-                       Hendy Giroux and others write in their Dalhousie review manifesto that cultural studies practitioners are “resisting intellectuals” who see what they do as “an emancipator project.” Because it erodes the traditional disciplinary divisions in most institutions of higher education.

                  

2) Culural studies is politically engaged.

                      “Cultural studies are political engaged” cultural critic sees themselves as “oppositional” not only within their own disciplines but to many of the power structures of society at large. They question inequalities within power structures and seek to discover models for restructuring relationship am any dominant and “minority” or “subaltern” discourses. Because meaning and individual subjectivity are culturally constructed, they can thus be reconstructed. Such a notion, taken to a philosophical extreme, denies the autonomy of the individual, whether an actual person or a character in literature, a rebuttal of the traditional humanistic “great man” or “great book” theory, and a relocation of aesthetics and cultural from the dial realms of taste and sensibility, into the arena of a whole society’s everyday life as it is constructed.

3) Cultural studies denies the separation of “High” and “ Low “or elite and popular culture.

                           “Cultural studies deny the separation of high and low or elite and popular culture.”    I might hear someone remark at the symphony or art museum: “I came here to get a little culture”.

       Being a “cultured” person used to mean being acquainted with “highbrow” art and intellectual pursuits. But isn’t culture also to be found with a pair of tickets to a rock concert?

       Cultural critic’s today work to transfer the term culture today work to transfer the term culture to include mass culture, whether popular, folk, or urban.  The Following theorists Jean Baudrillard and Andreas huyssen of the cultural critics argue that after world war ii the distinctions among high , low and mass culture collapsed , and they cite other theorists such as Pierre Boundiry and Dick Hedbige on how “good taste” only reflects prevailing social, economic and political power bases. For example , the images of india that were circulated during the colonical rule of the british raj by writes like by Rudyard kipling seem innocent , but reveal an entrenched imperialist argument for white superiority and worldwide domination of other races, especially Asians. But race along was not the issue for the British raj, money was also a deciding factor But drawing also upon the ideas of french historian michel de certeau, cultural critics examine.

4) Cultural studies analyze not only the cultural work but also the means of production.

                     Maxist critics have long recognized the importance of such paraliterary questions as these: who supports a given artist? Who publishes his or her books, and how are these books distributed? Who buys books? For those matters, who is literate and who is not? A well – known analysis of literary production is Janice radway’s study of the American romance noval and its readers. Reading the romance women, partriarchy and popular literature, which demonstrates the textual effects of the publishing industry’s decision about books that will minimize its financial risks. Another contribution is the collection reading in america, edited by cathy n. Davidson, which includeds essays on literacy and gender in colonical new england urban magazine qudiences in eighteenth century new york city; the impact upon reading such technical innovations as cheaper eyeglasses, electriclights, and trains; the book of the month club; and how writers and texts go through fluctuations of popularity and canonicity. These studies help up recognize that literature dose not accur in a space separate from other concerns of our lives.

                    Cultural studies thus join subjectivity – that is, cultural in relation to individual lives- with engagement, a direct approch to attacking social ills. Thoughcultural studies prectitioners deny “humanism”or “the humanities” as universal categories, they strive for what they might call “social reason”, which often (closly) resembles the goals and values of humanistic and democratic ideals.
