當代的文化研究是許多重要的理論發展的一部份，這些理論包括社會學理論、人類學、馬克思主義、女性主義和語言學、文學理論等。文化研究主要是從1964年代從英國學術圈（批判理論與文學批評）開始發展而出而後在世界學術圈廣傳。文化研究是一門跨學科傾向的學門，因此包含不同的學術取向與研究方法。受到西方馬克思主義的影響，知識份子開始討論工人階級的文化，並從文學評論與文化分析著手進行研究。早期文化研究重要的學者有Raymond Williams、Hoggard、Paul Willis等人，Stuart Hall 則是集大成的文化研究學者。80年代開始，由於英國與美國的新自由、保守主義的興起，文化研究學者以左翼知識份子的角度對右翼主流政黨進行批判。
文化研究主要關注在媒介（medium）如何影響到意識型態、國族、階級、種族、性別等，特別是，意義如何在既有的文化政治與經濟領域中被生產、傳播、擴散、複製。可以說，文化研究主要是分析後現代的學門，也受到後結構主義與後現代主義的影響。文化研究也結合性別研究、博物館研究、政治理論、歷史哲學、電影研究、媒介研究、翻譯研究、藝術史、視覺文化等。Contemporary cultural research is part of many important theoretical development, including social theory, humanity, Marxism, feminism and language, literature theory, etc. Cultural research mainly developed from the British academic circle (critical theory and literary criticism) in the 1964 period and was later widely spread in the world academic circle. Cultural research is a trans-scientific and scientific door, so it includes different academic orientations and research methods. Influenced by Western Marxist theory, intellectuals began to discuss worker-level culture and began to conduct research from literary commentary and cultural analysis. Important scholars in early cultural research were Raymond Williams, Hoggard, Paul Willis, etc. Stuart Hall was a culmination of cultural researchers. Since the 1980s, due to the rise of new freedom and conservativeism between Britain and the United States, cultural researchers have criticized the mainstream right-wing political parties from the perspective of left-wing intellectuals.
Cultural research mainly focuses on how media affects ideology, nationality, level, race, gender, etc., especially how meanings are produced, spread, scattered, and copied in the existing cultural and political fields. It can be said that cultural research mainly analyzes postmodern learning, and is also influenced by post-structuralism and post-modernism. Cultural research also combines gender research, museum research, political theory, history and philosophy, film research, media research, translation research, artistic history, visual culture, etc.
