“…continental philosophy, American literary criticism, communication studies) also influencing the contours of cultural studies (Hall 1992;White and Schwoch 2006). Hall (1980b) suggests that the beginnings of cultural studies were defined by two paradigms -structuralism and culturalism. Where structuralism claims that all experience is the outcome of a series of universal laws, whether in societies or in the unconsciousness, culturalism suggests that culture should be studied through the way people experience it, thus permitting a sense of agency even while this is within cultural constraints (see also Fiske 1987).…”

“…Within literary criticism the 'preferred method is to treat the forms abstractly, sometimes quite formalistically, uncovering the mechanisms by which meaning is produced in language, narrative or other kinds of sign-system' (Johnson 1986 p.50; this can also be seen in Hall's (1980b) concept of 'structuralism'). From this approach, fan studies has claimed that if fandom is to be taken seriously, then the texts that fandom produce must be taken seriously as well.…”

Abstract:Fan studies has been critical and groundbreaking in a number of respects. However, in regard to methodology, discussion seems decidedly thin on the ground. Such a missing discourse has wider implications, raising questions such as: what kinds of knowledge do fan studies researchers want to produce? What are the objects being studied? How does fan studies inform a general approach to research? And how is the area going to maintain itself, if we don't start talking about our methodology and world-view? This paper is an attempt to bring the discussion of methodology to the fore in fan studies. In doing so, we show how the history of methodology in media and cultural studies implies certain methods. We then turn to newer methodologies in interpretative qualitative research. From here, we argue that there is room for mutual dialogue between fan studies and methodology: namely in work around the 'aca-fan' subject position of the researcher; and in digital research opened up by online modes of fandom and fan activism.

“…Following in this vein, early cultural studies scholars, in particular those working at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham, approached culture as a site of struggle for the production of meaning. As cultural studies spread to the United States, Canada, and Australia in the 1970s and 1980s, its practitioners began to apply structuralist frameworks to questions of culture in order to tease out the power relations that characterized a given society (see Hall, 1980).…”

This article examines why scholars who theorize cultural translation have not always agreed on what their object of study is. It provides a diachronic account of two competing definitions, one from anthropology and one from cultural studies. It also describes three factors that have complicated debates about cultural translation: the different epistemological and methodological assumptions made by anthropologists and cultural studies scholars; the ambiguous, politically charged relationships linking language, culture, and text; an asymmetry of usage. This article concludes by considering the implications of a point of convergence—the ethical turn taken in anthropology and cultural studies in the last two decades—for debates about attempts to ban Muslim veils from public spaces in North America.La présente contribution examine les raisons pour lesquelles les chercheurs qui proposent une réflexion théorique sur la traduction culturelle n’ont pas toujours été d’accord sur la nature même de leur objet d’étude. Deux définitions concurrentes sont analysées d’un point de vue diachronique, l’une provenant de l’anthropologie, l’autre, des « cultural studies ». L’article met en lumière trois facteurs qui viennent compliquer le débat sur la traduction culturelle : le fait que les anthropologues et les spécialistes des « cultural studies » ne partagent pas les mêmes présupposés épistémologiques et méthodologiques ; les rapports entre la langue, la culture et les textes, qui sont souvent ambigus et surchargés de connotations politiques ; une asymétrie d’usage. En guise de conclusion, l’auteur envisage les implications d’un point de convergence, à savoir le tournant éthique dans le contexte des débats sur les accommodements raisonnables en Amérique du Nord

“…Tout en argumentant sur le fait que les cultural studies ne sont pas des disciplines mais créent des paradigmes, ce dernier accole au mot « paradigme » le qualiicatif « disciplinaire ». Une situation inconfortable qu'Hervé Glevarec attribue au fait que le mot « paradigme » est insufisamment déini, y compris par Stuart Hall (1980) qui en fait pourtant un élément de sa démonstration.…”
