Thinking activity : CS Unit 2: Five Types of CS

Hello readers,

  Introduction:




   This is the blog on culture study. There are five types of cultural studies. This is the thinking activity which is part of task given by Dr. Dilip Barad sir. If you need more information you can go through by one click



 Cultural studies :



    Cultural studies is investigation of work and the production. We can also says that culture consist every movement of human being. In general definition we can say that culture is art of how to live life. It not nature and so it is flexible and it can change while change the time. 


Five types of cultural studies :

British cultural  materialism 
New historicism 
American multiculturalism 
Post-modernism and popular culture 
Post-colonial 

   Let's  discuss this type in brief.


Q-1.  your understanding of British cultural materialism in your own words.

* British cultural  materialism:

    In the later 19th century Matthew Arnold sought to redefine the "given" of British culture. Edward burnett Tylor's pioneering anthropological study primitive culture in (1871) argued that culture or Civilization Tekken in its widest ethnographic sense is a complex whole which includes knowledge believes at moral Lo custom in any other abilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society.

  Cultural materialism was started in 1950,with the work by F. R. Levis,he was highly influenced by Matthew Arnold. We know that it is like that  sun of Britain is never set when Britain had a power to rein on more than a half world. So the power is also related with materialists and it is a subject of study into study of cultural studies. Feminism is also part plot study in cultural materialist.

Q-2.    What is contribution of Michelle foucault in new historicism? * New Historicism:

          In New Historicism  Michel Foucault gave his contribution. From Foucault, new historicists developed the idea of a broad "totalizing" function of culture episteme. Episteme is concept given by Michelle foucault episode is condition of possibility of discourse in a given period it is allowed to  to different object and different theme to spoken at one time not at another time.According to him history in not a universal idea for working out of universally, because of we have not information about the past and present idea in a context of governing ideas.

Q-3 How can new historicists  help in answering the question raised against laputa episode in Gulliver's Travels?

    Laputa episode is came into Gulliver Travels.It is very famous work by him. In this episode the land Laputa island is flying in third voyage by Gulliver. This episode is related with the scandal in Eighteenth century.
          Susan bruce  ties together some seemingly disparate event of those time. It is related with the scandal involving a "monstrous birth" in royal court. 
                   Di Marco was referring to a scandal which is happen in Royal court birth of rabbits, that rabbit women had inserted into her vagina and then laboured to produce. Then Bruce came to no that depiction of Toft 'son female body as island in third book of Gulliver travel. So we can say that the third episode of Gulliver travel is about the female anatomy and flying island.



Q-4.   Exemplify four types of analysis of popular culture.Apply it on popular artefact.


   During the 1960 cultural studies was not study as academic purpose but within the American studies programme it started. In many discourses it consist as study like fiction, women studies, anthropology, history, film study, urban studies, study of book and so on.

There are four types of analysis in popular culture.

1. Production analysis
2.Textual' analysis
3. Audience analysis
4. Historical analysis


Q-5.   Difference between modernism and postmodernism.

      Modernism was begin in the 1890 it lasted till about 1945, Postmodernism started after the second world war.
         
          Modernism is not followed the Victorian aesthetic but during time of modernism they use new techniques drawn from psychology, experiment with point of view,time space and stream of consciousness writing.
   
                    Post -modernism emerged in art, architecture, music, film, literature, sociology, communication and also some other field.
