Cultural studies brings to everyday life the same tools of analysis one finds in literary study.Advertisement,popular songs,television show,journalism,gaming all can be analyzed from a variety of critical perspectives.That is the case because they are imaginative artifacts that bear meaning.They are constructed using techniques similar to those used in film and literature such as narrative,metaphor,irony,framing and composition.
As in literature,so in culture,meaning is borne by signs.Signs function because They embody codes that are shared by Cultural communities.
Colonialism has been an integral part of the history of numerous nation in Asia,Africa and south America.European nations controlled much of the world's resources and populations from the seventeenth century,well into the twentieth.
Postcolonialism theory looks at the ways in which the non white races have been subject to oppression and exploration during colonial rule.It foregrounds questions of race in discussion about the west and the West's interaction (both past and present) with the east.It also looks at how the present age of globalization brings back memories of colonialism,albeit in a new frame and with never rhetoric and modes of exploltation.
