Kulturoznawcze rozdroże

Abstract

The crossroads of cultural studies The article provides an overview of proposals for understanding cultural studies, including its methodology and the subject of research. Over the past few decades, this discipline has come to comprise a multitude of different cultural approaches, which differ not only in words and their meaning, but also in what they relate to. The multiplicity of research of various phenomena, specific research methods, languages, as well as new theoretical findings are mezzo and micro concepts. This is a particular order of things. While previous theoretical proposals of understanding the discipline and its subject can be compared with the formulation of “grammars” of the languages of various cultural studies, the most recent period is characterised by the emergence of new research practices, described in different languages. Among these new languages are also those for which “grammars” have not yet been created.
