This pioneering textbook explores the theoretical background of
cultural variety, both in past and present. How is it possible to
study 'culture' when the topic covers the arts, literature, movies,
history, sociology, anthropology and gender studies? Understanding
Culture examines the evolution of a concept with varying meanings
depending on changing norms. Offering a long-duration analysis of
the relationship between culture and nature, this book looks at the
origins of studying culture from an international perspective.
Using examples from the several scholarly traditions in the
practice of studying culture, Understanding Culture is a key
introduction to the area. It identifies the history of interpreting
culture as a meeting point between the long-standing historical
investigation of 'humanism' and 'postmodernism' and is a
comprehensive resource for those who wish to further their
engagement with culture as both a historical and contemporary
phenomenon.
