Role of Culture Studies

The study of Cultural studies had been in talks for long as to whether it can be included in the main stream of Literature studies. The concept of popular culture also known as pop culture was not regarded as something to worth study. Pop culture was an outcome of media and the latest changes that was brought by the young generation. It was argued that it cannot be considered as a separate stream for studies. The contribution of John Storey, Richard Johnson and others has made cultural studies an important part of the main stream. It has a deep though process which cannot be ignored as it shows the actual spirit and movement of the contemporary society as well as the liking of the people of different times.
