Sažetak
This essay will attempt to conceptualize and describe the intellectual project called cultural studies as a complex system of contingent borders and demarcations. Using the eclectic conceptual apparatus of complexity theory, system theory, and cybernetics, the essay briefly discusses how that system continues to operate, ethically and politically, at its own dynamic limit. Following observations of the system at its dissipative edge, the essay engages with cultural studies’ understanding of the lived complexity interwoven with intramural academic formations, including the central conceptual core called “culture.” Following the necessary critique of the aporetic non-transgressions in and about cultural studies’ disciplinary identity, marketed and mystified as progressive and marginal, the emancipatory agenda of cultural studies is, ultimately, re-confirmed in a political and theoretical taming of complexities, opposed to the tacit relativisms of the past: in acknowledging the materiality of relations, in decidability, in singularity and, ultimately, in the quest for justice.
