The current interest in cultural studies marks a departure from a period characterised by immanent approaches to the literary work, i.e., those approaches which abstracted it from external cultural contexts. Over the last few decades in Poland the foci of cultural studies have been considerably different from those which have motivated British or American scholars. This essay aims at highlighting the reasons for those differences: they include geographical, historical and ethnic factors. Also, more importantly, the ideological motivation for the research in the field cannot be directly transplanted in Poland which used to suffer from a communist oppression and thus is radically skeptical of any intellectual developments inspired by marxism. Finally, the process of translating the scope and meaning of anglophone cultural studies into Polish academic reality may constitute a good opportunity for axiological reflection concerning the necessity of retaining evaluation standards in our culture.
