Goals of Cultural Studies:-

Cultural Studies cross or transcends the confines of particular literary text.
It break the narrow history & philosophy or literary criticism.
Eg:-
For register in MA you have the degree of BA.
But MBA can we do with any graduate.
That's the success of IIMs.
Second is that it is politically engaged.
One who have power always try to use it anyhow.
Father before his son
Teacher before students
Cultural critics stands for opposition of power & tries to find equality.
Reconstruction of construction is there.
Bindu Bhatt's 'Akhepatra' is one of the best example here.
Then it denies the separation of high or low, elite or popular culture
Contemporary economics, social political power are questioned.
High class turns to working class.
Landlords to workers.
Awards & rewards are only for popular rather than elite.
At last, it analyse not only cultural work but also means of production.
Who supports a given artist..?
Who published books..?
Who buys books..?
Who is literate & who is not..?
Reading the romance in women.
Marketing of books.
Trailer of Meluha.
Tagore's 'Like it happen yesterday'.
Thank You.
