Moving world-systems analysis into the cultural realm, Richard E.
Lee locates the cultural studies movement within a broad historical
and geopolitical framework. He illuminates how order and conflict
have been reflected and negotiated in the sphere of knowledge
production by situating the emergence of cultural studies at the
intersection of post-1945 international and British politics and a
two-hundred-year history of conservative critical practice. Tracing
British criticism from the period of the French Revolution through
the 1960s, he describes how cultural studies in its infancy
recombined the elite literary critical tradition with the First New
Left's concerns for history and popular culture-just as the liberal
consensus began to come apart.Lee tracks the intellectual project
of cultural studies as it developed over three decades, beginning
with its institutional foundation at the University of Birmingham's
Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS). He links work at
the CCCS to the events of 1968 and explores cultural studies'
engagement with theory in the debates on structuralism. He
considers the shift within the discipline away from issues of
working-class culture toward questions of identity politics in the
fields of race and gender. He follows the expansion of the cultural
studies project from Britain to Australia, Canada, South Africa,
and the United States. Contextualizing the development and spread
of cultural studies within the longue duree structures of knowledge
in the modern world-system, Lee assesses its past and future as an
agent of political and social change.
