| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Our study aimed to make a unique contribution to humanities, especially those studies relating to culture, by re-constructing the basic method of cultural studies. For that purpose, taking into account of the latest scholarship of critical and cultural theories, we re-examined modern British criticism from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries--those critics regarded as "residual"--from Edmund Burke to Raymond Williams. In doing so, we set them in the international context, investigating the idea of culture genealogically. Our research has confirmed that the genealogy of cultural criticism in Britain is inseparably related to the experiences of industrialization those critics had, as well as to their responses to it.
