English term or phrase: cultural studies/theory

Io credo che il termine inglese 'cultural studies' sia molto usato anche in italiano, anche se ho trovato a volte anche 'studi culturali'. Ma in un articolo sui cultural studies spagnoli, come tradurre 'cultural theory'? 'Teoria culturale' o 'teoria della cultura'? E siete d'accordo a lasciare 'cultural studies' in inglese?

studi/teorie culturali

Explanation:
Ora, si potrebbe lasciare in inglese per un pubblico più specializzato. Come osservavi, però, si sta diffondendo l'uso di "studi culturali" (che indica esattamente la stessa cosa in italiano) e "teorie culturali" (piuttosto che "della cultura").

Per corroborare quanto detto, ti invio un link dove "teorie culturali" è usato in titoli di corsi di laurea

"STUDI CULTURALI E POSTCOLONIALI
(A.A. 2004/2005-Corso di laurea specialistico)
TEORIE CULTURALI INGLESI E NUOVI MEDIA
(A.A. 2005/2006-Corso di laurea I livello)"
http://cta.unior.it/docenti/docenti.asp?idfacolta=3&idfascia...

"Il Dizionario degli Studi Culturali traccia una cartografia – cioè l’immagine in evoluzione di un territorio a sua volta in continua evoluzione – delle tradizioni di studio che si fondano sull’idea di cultura."

Cultural studies

Explanation:
Sono d'accordo nel lasciare "cultural studies" in inglese, si tratta di un qualcosa che è "culture-bound", un campo che secondo me non trova un perfetto corrispondente in italiano.

Anche per quanto riguarda "cultural theory", non è semplice trovare una traduzione adeguata, io lascerei il termine in inglese pure in questo caso.
