As a discipline,
           cultural  studies  is
           in danger  of  losing
           its

           It could simply
           dissolve  into
           another  discipline
           like sociology,
           anthropology  or
           psychology.  That
           would be a great
           shame. However,
           as  a  collective
           term for a number
           of diverse  and
           often  contentious
           intellectual
           endeavours  that
           expose power  in
           all  its  ubiquitous
           forms, cultural
           studies  has a
           great future.


           As  a  dissenting
           movement, cultural
           studies  can
           remain open to
           unexpected,
           unimagined,
           uninvited
           possibilities  -
           especially  those
           that come from
           outside  the  West.
