New Cultural Studies

New Cultural Studies is an interdisciplinary approach that explores how culture—like media, arts, beliefs, and everyday practices—shapes social identities, power, and society. It examines how cultural expressions reflect and influence issues such as race, class, gender, and politics. Unlike traditional studies that focus solely on high art or literature, this approach considers popular culture and everyday life as vital to understanding social dynamics. It emphasizes critical analysis of how cultural meanings are created, shared, and contested, encouraging a deeper awareness of how culture impacts individual experiences and societal structures.
