The malaise of today's "e;Cultural Studies"e; is perhaps best summarized by Picasso (paraphrased) "e;success can lead to copying from oneself, and copying from oneself, and that is worse than copying from others."e; This book is both a response and an independent configuration of the dominant, current trend: that is "e;cultural studies"e; known as the Birmingham/U.S. School (B/USS). Contemporary Cultural Studies leapfrogs the Birmingham/U.S. School of "e;future self-clarification."e; The fundamental conceptual, mythological and philosophical problematics have been worked over the last 40-plus years in the United States in advance of the current self-clarificaion exercises. Surprisingly, the genesis of U.S. Contemporary Cultural Studies is in Continental philosophy, not unlike the genesis of the Birmingham/U.S. School. This book discusses some procedural questions and practical features relevant to theory and research practice in social science and humanities from the standpoint of phenomenology.
