This review essay examines debates on cultural populism among English-speaking cultural

theorists in the second half of the 1980s and early 1990s. These debates were inspired

by the development of the studies of popular culture and had a significant influence

on the transformation of the landscape of cultural studies in the context of their

academic and public expansion. The essay analyzes, firstly, the historical conjuncture of

the discussion and examines different points of view on cultural studies as a critical

theory and research project. Secondly, it points out the significance of this discussion

for the interpretation of the present state and perspectives of cultural studies, including

such new areas as fan studies, new media studies, and the like.
