REFRAME are very pleased to announce the launch of a brand new project, STATES OF CULTURAL ANALYSIS. This pubic intervention from Sussex Centre for Cultural Studies is a website that showcases innovative approaches to culture and cultural analysis and asserts the ongoing urgency of such work.
Stemming from the need to redefine cultural studies tools and approaches for the challenges of the contemporary moment, the intervention has four strands.
The State of Cultural Analysis evaluates and re-defines the role of cultural studies in the contemporary moment.
Sites of Cultural Analysis highlights the depth and vibrancy of cultural studies in museums, curation art, youth clubs, schools, photography, and other vernacular settings.
Textures of Cultural Analysis engages with rich and divergent empirical explorations using cultural studies approaches.
Times of Cultural Analysis learns through history and historical approaches.
The ultimate aim of the website is to provide a home and archive for the most innovative approaches to cultural analysis and cultural studies, and therein contribute to the ongoing renewal and vitality of the discipline.
