Cultural studies is a field of theoretically, politically, and empirically engaged cultural analysis that

was initially developed by British academics in the late 1950s, '60s and '70s, and has been
subsequently taken up and transformed by scholars from many different disciplines around the
world. Cultural studies is avowedly and even radically interdisciplinary and can sometimes be seen
as antidisciplinary. Although most practitioners of cultural studies are professional academics, Gilbert
Rodman has argued in his 2015 book, Why Cultural Studies?, that the field must be understood to
include some non-academic cultural analysts and practitioners as well as academic ones. [1] A key
concern for cultural studies practitioners is the examination of the forces within and through which
socially organized people conduct and construct their everyday lives.
