In with the new: what will the humanities look like in 1997 and who will be the people to watch?

Article Abstract:

It is expected that the move towards the study of cultural history, away from the study of social history, will continue in 1997. Also cultural materialism and new historicism will affect the way English literature is studied. There is debate about cultural differences in categories such as sociology which were previously seen as fairly coherent, and Carol Smart, professor of sociology at Leeds University, believes that the discipline is struggling with the recognition of diversity.
