Abstract

What kind of relationship is there between sociology and cultural studies? Are these two confronting to each other or there is a kind of interdependency and completing relation between them? These are under discussion questions in this article. For dealing with these questions, essentialism and genealogical perspective review and, on the basis of genealogical perspective, the relationship between these two areas explore in the social context of Britain and America. In this exploration, the main paradigmatic ruptures expound in the British tradition of cultural studies and measure the relation between these ruptures and social condition in Britain. On this basis, instead of exploring about relationship between "sociology" and "cultural studies", relationship between “sociologies” and “varied cultural studies” come into view. Exploring in the relationship between these two discursive formations, especially in Britain, could help to explore this relationship in Iran and compare it with Britain. It could be helpful for maximizing the accomplishment of these areas.
