Research methodology has been an arbitrary and volatile process through the ages. Trends in research have continuously changed and evolved with the changing scenario in education. Literature has been always been seen as a mirror of society that reflects the realities and nuances of the human existence. In the recent years, literary studies have been looked at in synonymity to cultural studies. Being controversial, two opposing points of views- one of the traditionalists and the other of the proponents of the cultural studies have often led to irreconcilable and polemical arguments. Despite the disagreements, a new interdisciplinary approach called the “Cultural studies” has already taken its place in the field of research and literary studies.
There are many different theoretical approaches, methods and models within contemporary literary and cultural theory (A.Nünning 2004) that indicate which kind of literary studies one is actually talking about if one intends to defend, criticize or reform them. If one looks at the multiplicity of approaches, it becomes clear that for one thing, some approaches are more useful for a cultural orientation of literary studies than others. This roughly drawn outline of the key concepts, objects of study and methods of culturally oriented literary studies is not to be understood as a definitive and binding roadmap which will solve the current crisis of the national philology. Rather, it should be seen as a signpost that points to one possible direction a productive development of literary studies can take.
The plea for culturally oriented literary studies has served its purpose if it makes some contribution to the ongoing debates about the relationship between literary and cultural studies, if it helps to remind the debaters of the fact that concepts and outlines are always constructs; that there is a multiplicity of theories, models and methods which need to be considered; that theoretical approaches, key concepts and methods that constitute our institutional practices should be made explicit.
