Assertion (A): This statement suggests that cultural studies scholars focus on the political aspects of culture rather than its aesthetic or humanist elements. This is a well-supported viewpoint within cultural studies, which often examines power dynamics, ideologies, and social structures.
Reason (R): This statement suggests that cultural studies focus on 'high art' and the exalted literary canon. However, this is not accurate. Cultural studies typically critique and deconstruct traditional notions of 'high art' and instead focus on popular culture, everyday practices, and marginalized voices.
