如果說文化一詞廣義而言指的是人類的生活方式，那麼文化研究則是研究一切和人類生活有關的活動，從一切能夠加上「文化」的名詞，如：大眾文化、青少年文化、流行文化，到各種議題，如：性別、空間、媒體，都是文化研究涵蓋的範圍。從這樣的觀點出發，文化研究的探討的對象幾乎就是一切與人有關的事物，而翻閱有關文化研究的書籍，也能立即發現文化研究所碰觸到的議題之廣泛，即使各家學者對於文化研究的特徵的見解各有不同，但文化研究是跨學科(transdisciplinary)或是多學科(multi-disciplinary)的特性則是各學者都會強調的部分。根據上述的文化研究的特徵，本課程的主要內容有以下兩個部分：
第一部份：介紹文化研究的重要理論取向。
第二部分：聚焦於文化研究所關注的議題，以及這些議題的研究如何進行。
透過在課程中各個理論的介紹與各種研究成果的展現，期待學生能夠對於文化研究如何進行有一定的認識；再透過本課程的實作，進而將自己習得的各項知識與理論內容與自己所感興趣的議題與理論結合，發展出自己觀看與分析事物獨特的視角。
If the word culture broadly refers to human life style, then cultural studies is the study of all activities related to human life, starting from all nouns that can be added with "culture", such as: popular culture, youth culture, popular culture, etc. Culture, to various issues such as gender, space, and media, are all covered by cultural studies. From this point of view, the object of discussion in cultural studies is almost everything related to people. If you look through books on cultural studies, you can immediately discover the wide range of topics that cultural studies touch. Even if various scholars have different opinions on culture, Opinions on the characteristics of research vary, but the fact that cultural studies is transdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary is something that all scholars will emphasize.
