What are the differences between Cultural Studies and the culture related subjects in Communication, Sociology, and Anthropology?
There are many interactions between these disciplines, and they share some common concerns in the study of the mechanism of culture. While it is difficult to draw clear boundaries among them, Cultural Studies self-avowedly practices interdisciplinary thinking and methodologies, while most other disciplines have their more concrete professional and academic confines. More specifically for the Cultural Studies program at CUHK, we are based in the Arts Faculty and therefore study culture more from a humanities perspective. While social sciences based subjects often study society through scientific research methods, our program is more interested in studying texts and representations (literature, films, TV programs, plays, sports, space, advertising, myths etc.), and we are committed in constantly rethinking our methodology.
