Cultural studies as a construct
View through CrossRef
This article discusses cultural studies as a social construct, and especially how it emerged in Finland. The 'discovery' of cultural studies in Finland in the early 1980s was made in a situation within Finnish sociology where some scholars began to adopt an orientation which resembled the Birmmgham orientation, but the influences to it stemmed from several sources. It was only then that the Birmingham School was founded, and certain people identified themselves with cultural studies. Yet within the local field of paradigms, Finnish 'cultural studies' was and remains a highly distinctive discursive construct.
