Research in the Constellation of Anglo-American Cultural Studies

本研究旨在描述20世纪世纪英国文化研究传统和文化运动的现状，并开始关注雷蒙德·威廉姆斯和特里·斯莱顿这两位著名的文化理论家之间的关系。本文试图通过对新自由主义对文化研究和文化运动的影响的分析，从理论和实践两个方面寻求突破文化研究和文化运动僵局的途径。虽然作为本研究的中心人物之一的特里·斯皮尔顿已被证明不是实现这一目标的合适人选，但他的理论和实践都表明，新自由主义对文化研究和文化运动的影响是巨大的。研究发现，作为英国文化研究和文化运动的继承者和捍卫者，希拉里温赖特是英国最积极的活动家之一。

This research which meant to describe the present situation into which the tradition of 20th century cultural studies and cultural movements in Britain had been brought, started focusing on the relationship between, Raymond Williams and Terry Eagleton, both well-known cultural theorists. Throughout this research, the impact of Neoliberalism on both cultural studies and cultural movement is explained and the way which could break through, practically and theoretically, the stalemate into which both cultural studies and cultural movement, had been strayed is sought.Although, Terry Eagleton, one of the two could-be central figures of this study, has been proved not to be the suitable person for those purposes, this research had found Hilary Wainwright, one of most aggressive activists in Britain, playing central role as a inheritor and defender of British cultural studies and cultural movements.
