Notes
Joanna Zylinska's recent book, The Ethics of Cultural Studies, and Angela McRobbie's The Uses of Cultural Studies, both published in 2005, are indication that I am not alone in this interest.
My thanks to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick for helping me think through this point.
On the crucial role of Allen Lane and publishing initiatives assisting the development of a readership for cultural studies, see Hartley (Citation2003).
Empathy is also a way to describe the new kind of teaching cultural studies instigates. In Tara Brabazon's words, it's a strategy that talks to students “where they are, rather than where I want them to be” (2002, 120). Putting yourself in the place of others, trying to understand and overcome the in-between barriers, is a self-reflexive, accommodating gesture seeking relevance to an audience.
One way to find a wide reaching textual address is to frame debates about social change in familiar sites—the home, the family, the neighbourhood. Morris's own work is exemplary in this regard (see especially Morris, Citation1998b).
