Summary/Abstract: The article is an attempt to position the British cultural studies tradition within contemporary academic debate. Although “cultural studies” is being used as a very broad term to describe theories situated between critical sociology, literary theory, media studies and philosophy, the authors point to the Birmingham School as the foundation of what subsequently evolved into the contemporary theory. Drawing on the classics from CCCS, the article presents current theoretical discourses used to reinvigorate cul‐ tural studies and seeks new possibilities within posthumanities and speculative realism (object oriented‐philosophy).
