- Abstract:
- ABSTRACT: This essay argues for the need for an 'optimism of the intellect' – in the form of the need for cultural studies – in the face of a growing 'pessimism of the will.' It illustrates the value of cultural studies by considering three contemporary problematics: post-truth, polarization and consent.
