Abstract

An interdisciplinary field of studies involves at least three concerns. The first is the question of its evolution from more than one origin. The second is its eclecticism - its reaches and scopes - the types of subjects, teachers, and students. And, the third is the general skepticism about its usefulness - the question of professionalism and employability. This essay is an attempt to address these fundamental concerns underlying the discourse on media studies as an interdisciplinary field. I first outline the academic and theoretical roots of this field. Then I discuss its major disciplinary dimensions and critical issues.
