This article reviews the most important transformations that cultural studies have undergone as a specialty that forms a bridge between many specialties, especially in its subject and method, by addressing the various historical stages of the establishment of this specialty and its spread in academic spaces, and then delving into an analysis of its distinguished relationship with information and communication sciences.

And based on the scientific description, the emergence of cultural studies as a specialization concerned with analyzing the topics of cultures of all types, and many academic methods are used in it, in addition to its launch from Britain due to turbulent social and economic conditions, and then its global spread.

Due to this spread, distinct schools of cultural studies emerged, most notably the Anglo-Saxon school, to which several countries belonged, most notably Britain and the United States of America, and the late-emergence Francophone school, in which France was its prominent representative, with mentioning the most important differences between the two schools.

The problem of the limits of the relationship of cultural studies with specialization was also discussed, and the conclusion was reached that the feature of specialization that has become characterized by it is confined only to the academic field and does not mean that it has reached the stage of being considered a science in its own right.

Part of the article was devoted to detailing the emergence of the subject of cultural studies and its methods, and their development over time.

Let us then delve into defining the relationship ofinformation and communication sciences with cultural studies, and the latter's contribution to the development of media reception research since the eighties of the last century, so that the contribution of cultural studies to drawing more attention to the topics of television reception, and the inclusion of new approaches in media and communication studies that were not used in them.
