- The international nature of cultural studiesPublication . Custódio, Leonardo; Vicente-Mariño, Miguel; García-Jiménez, Leonarda; Hernández-Pérez, Manuel; Subtil, Filipa Mónica de Brito Gonçalves; Rizo, MartaCultural studies is one of the most contested themes in this book in historical, epistemological and sociopolitical ways. Its history is contested. Most authors tend to pinpoint the birthplace of cultural studies at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) after the 1950s in Birmingham. However, some scholars have challenged this “distorted narrative”, as the European chapter in this section describes it. Different voices (e.g. Ang, 1992; Chen, 1992; Wright, 1998; Shome, 2009) have called for the challenging of the narrative of British origins and the decentralization of the Anglo-American cultural studies so that a plural, transnational epistemological process can take place.
