"Cultural Studies" in translation

[Susan]

Cultural study = culturologicheskie issledovaniya,
culturologiya.

The term "culturologiya" appeared relatively recently. Before researchers used the term "theory of culture". 

See, for example, A.Arnoldov's study books. In 70s-80s they had titles "Theory of Culture", but  in 90s the new term appeared: A.Arnoldov, S. Matveyeva. (1995)   Basic topics of Culturology. Study program,  plan of subjects,    recommended literature for graduate and postgraduate students. Moscow:   Moscow State University of Culture. Arnoldov A.I. (1993) Introduction    to Culturology. Moscow, Academia of folk culture and human values;   Urgent Problems of  Culturology. (1993) Moscow: Russian Academy of Management;      Current Problems of Culturological Education (1993) Moscow, Institute of Philosophy Russian Academy of Sciences;  Moscow State Institute of Culture.

See also some university department names - Moscow State University of Culture,  Department  "Ethics, Aesthetics and Theory of Culture". Institute of Philosophy  for  Russian Academy of Science had department "Philosophskie issledovaniya of Culture" in 80s. It  was renamed into "Philosophy of Culture" in 1991. 

The significant trend in Cultural Study is "socioculturnie issledovaniya". See, for example, A.S.Akhiyezer. (1998) Russia:  Critique  of Historical Experience. Vol.2. Sociocultural dictionary.   Novosibirsk, Sibirsky Khronograf.
