Initially the term ‘Cultural Studies’ referred to the tradition that was started in Britain by Richard Hoggart, Edward Palmer Thompson and Raymond Williams in the late 1950’s, which more recently has been carried on by the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) at Birmingham University by 1964, also known as the ‘Birmingham School’ since it was established. However, since these early years, the concept has evolved into a more generic term referring to a cross-disciplinary field.
