�� After exploring these ideas about popular culture studies and trends in
education, Eagleton moves on to focus on a particular area of cultural
studies, the area which focuses primarily on escaping Western narcissism:
post-colonial studies. As the factor had been looming in my mind, I was
pleased to find that one of the first points Eagleton makes here is that of
the recent political and historical context, and how it relates to cultural
studies. I was surprised he didn�t mention it earlier, when describing how
the �golden age of cultural theory� is past. The point he makes here also
explains why fewer grand and original theories which are more political and
historical than popular have been produced in recent years. There are simply
fewer events, of a large political and historical scale, which is
immediately affecting those theorizing. The big revolutions and wars of
earlier in the century are long past, and, as Eagleton says, the �new
generations can remember little of world-shaking importance.� While the
�founding mothers and fathers� of cultural theory had these events in their
immediate context to explore and reflect upon, the more recent cultural
theorists have only a more distant memory of such large-scale and immediate
political stimuli at their disposal.
