all of the lecture notes of cultural studies, given at the University of Leiden

These are the class notes as well as notes from the Q&A from 2021/2022. I retyped some thing to make them more comprehensive from the lecture slides, and if needed, supplemented with additional notes. Key thinkers are highlighted for faster access in the Table of Content. My grade was a 8,6. Hope this helps. (This does not include a summary of the readings)
