“…His duty is to break the rules. (Pier Paolo Pasolini, quoted in Petkovic, 1997) It seems that cultural studies analysis in its treatment of class has been overtaken by events. It seems the perceptual/conceptual/linguistic apparatus of socio-cultural analysis on the whole is now unable to diagnose the global predicament we are in, seemingly reinforcing the very structures we seek to subvert.…”

This article addresses the turbulent relationship that British cultural studies scholars have with the concepts of 'class' and 'tradition' and the problematic status of these key terms within the cultural studies literature. The authors maintain, in part, that these concepts have been deployed within a center-periphery thesis and a field-bound ethnographic framework by cultural studies scholars pursuing a sub-cultural studies approach. Within this framework, 'Britishness' has been the silent organizing principle defining metropolitan working-class traditions and forms of cultural resistance. British cultural studies proponents have therefore pursued the study of class and culture as a localized, nation-bound set of interests. This has placed cultural studies in tension with postcolonial subjectivities. The authors write against the grain of the textual production of the working class within cultural studies scholarship, insisting that recent films and literary works offer a more complex story of class identities in the age of globalization and transnationalism.
