The choice of research practices depends upon the questions
that are asked, and the questions depend on their
context. It is problematic for cultural studies simply to
adopt, uncritically, any of the formalized disciplinary
practices of the academy, for those practices, as much
as the distinction they inscribe, carry with them a heritage
of disciplinary investments and exclusions and a
history of social effects that cultural studies would often
be included to repudiate. (2)
