| description | Trying to deal with the problems of method and teachability which practitioners of cultural studies have repeatedly raised since the institutional consolidation of the field from the late eighties onward, two types of responses appear to have recurred: discarding the question altogether, or, harking back to CS’ original moment and founding theoretical figures, the chosen option generally implying either a departure from- or alternatively, the reactivation of- a reference to Marxism. The narrative of CS’ inception and later growth from an allegedly foundational Marxist frame of reference from the early 1960s onward, then followed by an erosion and disappearance of the Marxist baggage, has been a common one for some time. Against the grain of such familiar assumptions, this chapter aims to signal the eclecticism already inherent in the very formative debates which heralded this whole field of critical practices. Bringing to light the “founding discord” between (the) Raymond Williams (of the early works) and Marxist historian E.P. Thompson, for whom priority conferred to culture in The Long Revolution (1961) might itself amount to, or encourage a form of reductionism, the chapter shows the extent to which CS’ so-called founding “Marxist” moment itself invited the departures from politics and overconfidence in the politics of culture-communication at the expense of the question of power. |
