This book advances the understanding and modelling of sensemaking
and cultural processes as being crucial to the scientific study of
contemporary complex societies. It outlines a dynamic, processual
conception of culture and a general view of the role of cultural
dynamics in policy-making, drawing three significant methodological
implications: pluralism, performativity, and semiotic capital. It
focuses on the theoretical and methodological aspects of the
analysis of culture and its dynamics that could be applied to the
developing of policymaking and, in general, to the understanding of
social phenomena. It draws from the experience and data of a
large-scale project, RECRIRE, funded by the H2020 program that
mapped the symbolic universes across Europe after the economic
crisis. It further develops the relationship between culture and
policy-making discussed in two previous volumes in this series, and
constitutes the ideal third and final element of this trilogy. The
book is a useful tool for academics involved in studying cultural
dynamics and for policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers
attentive to the cultural dimensions of the design, implementation
and reception of public policies.
This book presents the main findings of an empirical exploration of
media discourses on social representations of "otherness" in seven
European countries. It focuses on the analysis of press discourses
produced over a fifteen-year period (2000-2015) on three
contemporary figures of otherness that challenge the identity of
European societies, question the attitudes towards diversity, and
pose significant challenges for policy-makers: immigration, Islam,
and LGBT. The book provides a comprehensive and articulate map of
how national media addresses such themes from both synchronic and
diachronic perspectives, revealing patterns of continuity and
discontinuity across time and space. Lastly, it discusses these
patterns in the light of their cultural meanings and their
influence on social and political collective behaviours.

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
