What's the Issue ? Remarques partisanes sur les études littéraires dans leur rapport aux études culturelles

Abstract

Cultural studies and literary studies are sometimes in conflict with each other, but why? They can be in good understanding with each other if we give it a try. Why can they not be brothers and sisters, and work in team? I try to explain here why good understanding is feasible, as far as methodology is concerned. But I admit, I am a bit sceptical, too. I argue that good friends can also be good enemies, but can work together nonetheless.
