In comparative cultural studies, fundamental principles of comparative literature are combined with selected tenets of cultural studies (including cultural theories, radical constructivism, communication theories, and systems theories) to investigate culture and culture products (including but not limited to literature, communication, media, art, etc.). This is carried out in a contextual and relational framework and utilizing a variety of methods and approaches, interdisciplinary in nature, and potentially involving teamwork when necessary.
