A question for a cultural studies person -- do you think you could, very
briefly, and in normal language, give a non-CS person an idea of where the
major CS scholars -- e.g. Fiske, Ross, etc., diverge? Where is fiske, for
instance, on the critical compass? Do such terms as radical and
conservative mean anything? Is queer theory a dividing issue? Is CS
crippled with divisions? I hope someone will give me a straight answer on
this. I am engaged in a review of the critical literature on TV, and I
can't make head or tail of the "CS" school, which at first apparance seems
quite monolithic.
sincerely,
