一、課程簡介
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主義的學門，也受到後結構主義與後現代主義的影響。本課程主要目標是引導同學從Raymond Williams的文化「情感結構」與案例，連結文化研究的理論，從性別作為主題，切入文化研究的取向中。
「文化研究」課程將分為兩部分討論介紹英國文化研究的發展，第一部分為簡介文化研究的學科發展脈絡、何謂「文化」？與社會有何不同？文化研究與女性主義有何關係？第二部分以女性主義與文化研究、視覺文化理論、後殖民理論、國族文化為研究主題。第三部分，我們閱讀文化研究的研究方法與認識論。

1. Course Introduction
Contemporary cultural studies is part of many important theoretical developments, including sociological theory, anthropology, Marxism, feminism, linguistics, and literary theory. Cultural studies mainly developed from the British academic circle (critical theory and literary criticism) in the 1964s and then spread throughout the world's academic circles. Cultural studies is an interdisciplinary subject and therefore includes different academic orientations and research methods. Influenced by Western Marxism, intellectuals began to discuss the culture of the working class and began to conduct research through literary criticism and cultural analysis. Important scholars in early cultural studies include Raymond Williams, Hoggard, Paul Willis, etc. Stuart Hall is a comprehensive cultural studies scholar. Since the 1980s, due to the rise of neoliberalism and conservatism in the United Kingdom and the United States, cultural studies scholars have criticized right-wing mainstream political parties from the perspective of left-wing intellectuals.
Cultural studies mainly focus on how the media affects ideology, nation, class, race, gender, etc., especially how meaning is produced, disseminated, diffused, and reproduced in the existing cultural, political, and economic fields. It can be said that cultural studies is mainly a discipline that analyzes postmodernism and is also influenced by poststructuralism and postmodernism. The main goal of this course is to guide students to connect the theory of cultural studies from Raymond Williams' cultural "emotional structure" and cases, and to enter the orientation of cultural studies from gender as a theme.
The "Cultural Studies" course will be divided into two parts to discuss and introduce the development of British cultural studies. The first part is an introduction to the disciplinary development of cultural studies. What is "culture"? How is it different from society? What does cultural studies have to do with feminism? The second part takes feminism and cultural studies, visual culture theory, postcolonial theory, and national culture as the research themes. In the third part, we read the research methods and epistemology of cultural studies.
