Cultural Studies: 10: 1 Controversies in …, 1996

In the ten years since this journal was founded, the field of cultural studies has expanded and flourished.

As we look forward to the next decade, we expect Cultural Studies to continue to contribute to both the expansion and the integration of cultural studies.

2017

This study, within the theoretical framework of Critical Discourse Analysis, aims to explore how culture represents language, causing cultural differences between the East and the West. With a set of questions, a qualitative method is employed to collect the data in this study. By examining the 189 theoretical studies and investigating cultural and linguistic features, this study will show how culture influences culture and language, while the content analysis is completely excluded due to the limited time and space. The data will be analyzed in light of the critical discourse analysis showing how social subjects are constructed in various discourses with their personal terms.

They all create specific mosaics composed of heritage – the elements of tradition, both material and immaterial – such as scroll painting and Taoist rituals. All texts exist in r...

The Chinese Cultural Revolution Revisited

This paper intends to construct a framework of understanding the Cultural Revolution and the complexities of such an event on the basis of historically novel forms of political, social and ideological relations. It brings the Cultural Revolution back in a good light so as to show its immense, autonomous historical importance as well as its continuing relevance. It studies and establishes the relationship between Mao's political and ideological discourse manifested and practised in the Cultural Revolution and the transformation of China's political economy in the present era. It concludes that the theoretical and practical problematics which the Cultural Revolution struggled to resolve can transcend space and time and continue to yield to our reading in a new light.
