Introduction
This site provides an open-access, multi-media introduction to studying British and American Cultures from a Cultural Studies perspective. In the form of eleven video lectures accompanied by eleven written texts we will introduce basic terms and central theoretical and methodological approaches within Cultural Studies as well as a first insight into the cultural history of the anglophone world.
"You won't come away from the experience as a full-fledged expert, of course (...), but you should still be able to come away with a preliminary understanding of the major contours of the project and, hopefully, a keen desire to do cultural studies yourself." (Gilbert B. Rodman, Why Cultural Studies?)
