Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary field of research and analysis that examines cultural phenomena in their social and political contexts. It focuses on understanding how culture influences and is influenced by various factors, including race, class, gender, identity, media, and power dynamics. Cultural Studies critiques traditional methods of studying culture, emphasizing the importance of context, perspective, and the lived experiences of individuals within society. Scholars in this field explore texts, practices, artifacts, and institutions to understand how culture shapes and reflects human behavior and societal structures. It draws on theories from sociology, anthropology, literary criticism, and other disciplines to analyze the ways in which cultural meanings are produced, circulated, and consumed. Overall, Cultural Studies aims to reveal the complexities of culture as a dynamic and contested space rather than a fixed or unified entity.
