This book investigates whether, how and where the cultural milieu
of European societies has changed as a result of the
socio-economics crisis. To do so, it adopts a psycho-cultural
approach, which views the cultural milieu as a set of meanings,
placing the generalized image social actors have of themselves, the
world, events and their relationships in the context of the
socio-political and institutional environment, including policies.
By analyzing the changes in cultural milieu and social identity,
the book develops strategic and methodological guidelines for the
design of post-crisis policies, providing a concept of how the
cultural dynamics are associated with certain individual
characteristics and specific socio-economic phenomena.
This volume develops a theoretical framework for the modelling of
meaning-making and cultural processes as crucial to the scientific
study of contemporary complex societies. It focuses on the
methodological and empirical aspects of the analysis of culture and
its dynamics that could be applied to policymaking and to the
understanding of social phenomena. It covers culture-based
segmentation, ad hoc survey instruments like the VOC and PROSERV
questionnaires, discourse flow analysis, the Homogenization of
Classification Functions Measurement, and others. It also presents
a detailed discussion of the methodology of cultural analysis in
contexts of health and education. The volume showcases a
top-down approach by including quantitative methods and/or
automatized or semi-automatized procedures, and at the same time
supports a hermeneutic, bottom-up, abductive approach, focused on
the situated dynamics of meaning-making. It provides insights from
cultural studies, social statistics, social policy, and research
methodology in the social sciences. This is a useful resource for
academics involved in studying cultural dynamics and for
policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers who are interested
in cultural dimensions of the design, implementation and reception
of public policies.Â
