Abstract
The paper reviews a moment within early British cultural studies as a way of asking whether the concept of power is as necessary to the field as is generally believed. It attempts to establish that the concept was not a central one - and was in fact specifically avoided - in the intellectual and political project suggested by the 'founding' work of Richard Hoggart and Raymond Williams. It was introduced as part of a deliberate intervention against that project which first appeared in criticisms of Williams by E.P. Thompson and later taken up in the systematic adoption of 'theory'.Keywords
