Cultural studies has several limitations, including a lack of adequate knowledge about cultures. It can be difficult to define which aspects of a culture should be the focus of study. Additionally, cultural studies sometimes focuses too much on current pop culture topics rather than studying the body of work from the past. This has led to criticisms that cultural studies practitioners know a lot of interesting facts but lack deep knowledge about the meanings and interactions of cultures.

Lack of

knowledge
Difficult to
define which is
best culture
Study about
what is
happening
Messing of
reality
We don’t know
studies of
culture within

3.  Cultural study emphasis upon diversity of
approach and subject matter.
 Cultural studies can at a time seem merely
an intellectual smorgasbord in which the
critic blithely combines artful helpings of
texts and objects and then finds deep
connections between them, without
adequately researching what a culture
means or how cultures have interacted.

4. • cultural studies used
many approaches at
time like, historicism,
feminism, etc.
• Some time we don’t
know what we are
doing in cultural
studies.

5. CULTURAL CRITIC AND HISTORIAN
• Cultural studies practitioners often know a
lot of interesting things and possess the
intellectual ability to play them off
interestingly against each other, but they
sometimes lack adequate knowledge of
the deep play of meaning.
• Historians have traditionally practiced to
analyze culture.
• We found lack of knowledge of the cultural
critic.

6. Cultural studies as “about whatever
is happening at the moment, rather
then about a body of texts created
in the past. Happening topics,
generally speaking, are the mass
media themselves, which, in a
postmodern culture, dominate the
cultural lives of its inhabitants, or
topics that have been valorized by
the mass media.”

7. CONFLICT BETWEEN STUDENT AND TEACHER
Some times students
complain that professors
who overemphasize
cultural studies tend to
downplay the necessity of
reading the classics, and
that they sometimes
coerce students into
“politically correct” views.

8. Cultural studies spoil the culture
What British people can’t
do…
American people do it with
the name of cultural studies.
