What is Cultural Studies? Cultural studies is an innovative interdisciplinary field of research and teaching that investigates the ways in which “culture” creates and transforms individual experiences, everyday life, social relations and power. Research and teaching in the field explores the relations between culture understood as human expressive and symbolic activities, and cultures understood as distinctive ways of life. Combining the strengths of the social sciences and the humanities, cultural studies draws on methods and theories from literary studies, sociology, communications studies, history, cultural anthropology, and economics. By working across the boundaries among these fields, cultural studies addresses new questions and problems of today’s world. Rather than seeking answers that will hold for all time, cultural studies develops flexible tools that adapt to this rapidly changing world. What is Postcolonialism ? "Postcolonialism" refers broadly to the wa...

A fiction is a socially agreed upon exchange where someone tells a story and someone else knowingly receives the story as fiction, for the purposes of entertainment. Everyone is on the same page; no one in this scenario is being taken advantage of. A lie, on the other hand, is when the teller takes advantage of the other person. In this scenario, all the social cues indicate that the other person expects truth, not fiction, in this exchange. The other person has been led to expect factual information, rather than entertainment. Yet the teller does not respect this person’s expectation. The teller pretends that they are abiding by an unspoken assumption of a socially agreed upon exchange of truth. However, the socially agreed upon exchange of truth, in the case of a lie, has been violated.

Jorge Mario Pedro Vargas Llosa, 1st Marquis of Vargas Llosa  born March 28, 1936. more commonly known as  Mario Vargas Llosa   Spanish  is a Peruvian writer, politician, journalist, essayist and college professor.  The literary reputation of Mario Vargas Llosa was established early in his prolific career. The Nobel prize for literature, bestowed on him this year, would have been deserved two decades or more ago. But back then the award would have been deplored by many Latin Americans who liked his novels but not his politics. For not only is Mr Vargas Llosa Latin America's most accomplished living writer, he is also a thinker who battles for democracy, the market economy and individual liberty. In its citation the Swedish committee commended Mr Vargas Llosa for “his cartography of structures of power and his trenchant images of the individual's resistance, revolt, and defeat.” This describes well two of his finest novels, written more than three decades apar...

☆ What is Deconstruction ? Deconstruction is a critique of the relationship between text and meaning originated by the philosopher Jacques Derrida . Derrida's approach consisted in conducting readings of texts with an ear to what runs counter to the intended meaning or structural unity of a particular text. The purpose of deconstruction is to expose that the object of language, and that which any text is founded upon, is irreducibly complex, unstable, or impossible. Throughout his readings, Derrida hoped to show deconstruction at work, i.e., the ways that this originary complexity—which by definition cannot ever be completely known—works its structuring and destructuring effects. We can see Decontruction in this indian TV ad ' Dag Acche Hai ' ...

What is structuralism ? ---->  In sociology , anthropology  and linguistics , structuralism  is the methodology that implies elements of human culture must be understood by way of their relationship to a larger, overarching system or structure. It works to uncover the structures that underlie all the things that humans do, think, perceive, and feel. Alternatively, as summarized by philosopher Simon Blacjburn , structuralism is "the belief that phenomena of human life are not intelligible except through their interrelations. These relations constitute a structure, and behind local variations in the surface phenomena there are constant laws of abstract culture".  ☆ SIGNIFICANCE OF WORDS ' FIRE ' & ' ICE '   Both the poems have diffrent meaning and represents the symbol and sign.
