Abstract
About this workshop: The project of defining Cultural Studies in a Modern Languages context derives from a specific institutional moment at Leeds (also mentioned by Diana Holmes in her introduction). CS at Leeds developed in the early 1980s when academics interested in a CS approach – including Griselda Pollock, Max Silverman and Janet Wolff – set up a Centre for CS, which also involved other local institutions. The Centre had seminars and workshops, an MA and doctoral students. The MA included a course on cultural theory which reflected the intellectual underpinning of the centre itself: the British school (Williams, Hoggart, Hall) and the continentals (Barthes, Gramsci, Althusser, Lacan, French feminism). The conceptual trinity of the Centre was class-race-gender, and it conceived itself in oppositional terms as challenging dominant culture. It was also intended as a means to facilitate interdisciplinary work in a highly departmentalized institutional structure.
