This paper discusses the changes in the studies of Korean culture since 2010’s. Cultural studies based on Korean literature have three interdisciplinary fields(categories): the research of Korean modern literary history via cultural studies, the studies of Korean modern cultural history, and the studies of ordinary culture. I evaluate the current status of these fields, and examine the tasks in the aspects of institutions and contents. Recently the research of Korean modern literary history via cultural studies left remarkable outcomes especially in the studies of literature and culture in 1960’s and 1970’s, translation culture since the Liberation, female literature and feminism view on the reinterpretation of literature history, the studies of people’s literature(Minjung literature) and labor literature, and the studies of history of cold war culture. The studies of Korean literature will continue to push back the boundaries of ‘literature’ and to transcend nationalism, elitism and androcentrism. Meanwhile ‘literature to culture’ in Korea has kept pace with ‘literature to knowledge.’ In other words, the studies of intellectual history, university history, and cultural history have actively developed on the basis of national research projects. In addition, cultural studies are gradually expanding its boundaries with new methodology, and undeveloped materials and fields. The studies of ordinary culture hold many institutional and theoretical tasks. I looked into the theoretical tasks of the studies of culture stressing on political economic and technoculture paradigm. Cultural studies should become a practical knowledge, going beyond ideological criticism that is easy to be trapped in convention or restoration, and it should create many practical interventions in terms of political economics, scientific technology, and urbanization. Making move conscious efforts to build more camps and strategies for next generations of scholous in the studies of culture will bring a solution to the crisis of the studies of culture.
