TOWARDS A DIALOGUE BETWEEN SOCIOLOGY AND CULTURAL STUDIES
Igor Bezinović
Sažetak
Cultural studies emerged as a reaction to British positivist sociology. In time the term “cultural studies” became widely used, so the whole movement should be considered extremely heterogenous. This paper emphasises disadvantages of the lack of scientific methodological strictness in certain works in cultural studies. It also points out dangers of overemphasising possibilities of everyday resistance which show up in texts that see cultural studies as antiinstitutional engaged movement. The political economy approach which emerged as a reaction to postomodern tendencies in cultural studies is taken
into consideration as the most similar to the first intentions of the Birmingham centre in which cultural studies appeared. In the dialogue between sociologists and people who do cultural studies, the first should see cultural studies as possible source of inovations
in social sciences, and the latter, as the interdisciplinary project, can see a neccessary and useful backup in sociology.
