3. Introduction
20XX presentation title 3
• cultural studies, interdisciplinary field concerned with
the role of social institutions in the shaping of culture.
Cultural studies emerged in Britain in the late 1950s
and subsequently spread internationally, notably to the
United States and Australia.
• Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of
Birmingham (founded 1964) and with such scholars as
Richard Hoggart, Stuart Hall, and Raymond Williams.
4. 20XX presentation title 4
• As university of Sydney studied,
• A major in Cultural Studies will allow you to examine texts, institutions and
practices in relation to systems of power and will provide you with a range of
tools to analyze how meanings are produced, circulated and exchanged in a
variety of contexts. You will learn how to think analytically, how to question
social norms, and how to share ideas in clear and persuasive ways.
• The Cultural Studies major equips you to become informed and engaged
critical thinkers in relation to important contemporary cultural issues and
everyday experiences.
Major Concern of Cultural Studies
5. 20XX presentation title 5
As in the one article of Tc global about the scholar’s view on this theory
According to Stuart Hall, one of the most famous theorists, Cultural Studies as a
project is open-ended” it does not have any singular origins and has multiple
discourses, histories, and trajectories.
As in one article of British Academy by Professor Angela McRobbie pointed out
that,
Even though cultural studies eventually found a respectable space within the
arts, humanities and social sciences, its repertoire still draws a sometimes stifled
or perhaps nervous giggle or smirk on the part of elders.

Four Goals of cultural Studies
1. First, cultural studies transcends the confines of a particular discipline such as
literary criticism or history.
• As it is noted in the one article of literariness by NASRULLAH MAMBROL In this article he argued that
• Cultural Studies views everyday life as fragmented, multiple, where meanings are hybridized and
contested; i.e., identities that were more or less homogeneous in terms of ethnicities and patterns of
consumption, are now completely hybrid, especially in the metropolis. With the globalization of urban
spaces, local cultures are linked to global economies, markets and needs, and hence any study of
contemporary culture has to examine the role of a non-local market/ money which requires a postcolonial
awareness of the exploitative relationship between the First World and the Third World even today.
So here I have taken cultural study of waste land because in this poem there is same idea like
• AS it is claim by Mr. RAJENDER PONDRA in one of his journal that the waste land deals with cultural
crisis that came with the loss of moral and cultural identity after World War I.
• In today’s culture these type of issues can be seen, that people are loosing there identity, there culture
they are so far from there culture.

.
2. Cultural Studies is politically engaged
As it is noted by Erica McCollum in one of her research article
• In people’s accounts, the most common influence promoting higher political engagement
appeared to be that, throughout various stages of their lives, they were immersed in
social contexts and cultures that helped to produce political attention and participation as
an expected, everyday activity. While these contexts could be created in school or social
networks, they most often started in the home.
Example:
• If we see as an example then it can be observed that if a political person belongs to
some particular culture or region then they won’t be accepted by the other people or the
culture by this statement it can be said that cultural studies is politically engaged
8. 20XX presentation title 8
3.Third, cultural studies denies the separation of "high' and "low "or elite
and popular culture
As it is studied by Bourdieu, Pierre in one of his Article
The difference between high culture and low culture is somewhat arbitrary. Both types of
culture involve tastes in music, art, literature, and various material goods, for example, so
the distinction generally revolves around specific types of tastes within those categories.
High culture, in general, involves an interest in classical music or opera, fine art, gourmet
foods, and so forth. Low culture tastes, in contrast, fall outside of these particular
preferences.
According to Pierre Bourdieu (1977), participation or interest in high culture leads to a form
of capital that can be used to produce various types of “profits.”
9. 4.Finally, cultural studies analyzes not only the cultural work,
but also the means of production.
According to Barker
cultural studies has developed a form of cultural materialism that is
concerned with exploring how and why meanings are inscribed at the
moment of production
• who owns and controls cultural production
• the distribution mechanisms for cultural products.
• the consequences of patterns of ownership and control for contours of
the cultural landscape.
10. conclusion
The findings about culture can help leaders understand their own
cultural biases and preferences. Different cultures have different ideas
about what they want from their leaders, and these findings help our leaders
adapt their style to be more effective in different cultural settings.
So, to conclude it can be said that in every field of society whether it politics
or art or any other the cultural study is there
