In postcolonial studies and in critical theory,the term subaltern designates and identifies the colonial populations who are socially,politically,and geographically excluded from the hierarchy of power of an imperial colony and from the metropolitan homeland of an empire. Antonio Gramsci coined the term subaltern to identify the cultural hegemony that excludes and displaces specific people and social groups from the socio-economic institutions of society,in order to deny their agency and voices in colonial politics. The terms subaltern and subaltern studies entered the vocabulary of post-colonial studies through the works of the Subaltern Studies Group of historians who explored the political-actor role of the common people who constitute the mass population,rather than re-explore the political-actor roles of the social and economic elites in the history of India.

Cultural studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the political dynamics of contemporary culture and its historical foundations. Cultural studies researchers generally investigate how cultural practices relate to wider systems of power associated with,or operating through,social phenomena. These include ideology,class structures,national formations,ethnicity,sexual orientation,gender,and generation. Employing cultural analysis,cultural studies views cultures not as fixed,bounded,stable,and discrete entities,but rather as constantly interacting and changing sets of practices and processes. The field of cultural studies encompasses a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives and practices. Although distinct from the discipline of cultural anthropology and the interdisciplinary field of ethnic studies,cultural studies draws upon and has contributed to each of these fields.
