- CulturalTheory, Biopolitics, and the Question of Power.Couze Venn -2007 -Theory, Culture and Society 24 (3):111-124.This article displaces the terrain upon which the question of power in modern societies has been framed by reference to the concept of hegemony. It presents a genealogy of power which pays attention to what has been at stake in the shifts in the effectivity of the concept of hegemony for culturaltheory from the 1960s, correlating the mutations in the analyses of power to shifts in the analysis of the relations ofculture, politics and the economy. Questions (...) of the relation of internality or externality of power with regard to the governed, and issues of counter-conducts and 'counter-hegemonic' struggles will guide the development of this genealogy. The article brings to bear on the issues the point of view of hybrid forms of sovereignty, such as imperial governmentality and implications relating to the emergence of biopolitics in the 19th century. It is argued that the situation today regarding global governance and new forms of rule compels us to re-examine the problem of consent and consensus by turning to the apparatuses for constituting hybrid publics that work through biomedia and new strategies of securitization and insecuritization.

- CulturalTheory Revised: Only Five Cultures or More?Oscar van Heffen &Steven Aschheim -2003 -Contemporary Political Theory 2 (3):289-306.This article deals with culturaltheory in the version of Thompson, Ellis and Wildavsky. Culturaltheory is important for research in the area of political and policy science because thistheory has the pretension of pinning down endogenous preference formation. Using Durkheim's dimensions, ‘social integration’ and ‘regulation of the actions of individuals’, culturaltheory distinguishes five ways of life or cultures, namely individualism, hierarchy, egalitarianism, fatalism and autonomy. The statement that there are only five ways of (...) life is, however, the result of a selective interpretation of the dimension, ‘regulation of the actions of individuals’. A broad perspective on this dimension — including the ‘horizontal’ aspects of human relations — will lead to the conclusion that there is a sixthculture existent that has been neglected by current culturaltheory. This sixthculture is essentially ‘mutualism-driven’. In this mutualist way of life, people hold highly specialized positions and are closely associated. The production of goods and services within thisculture is based on cooperation and mutual adjustment. Power is widely spread, but not because equal rights and duties are considered a good thing. Knowledge and skills are primary in mutualist settings, and power follows knowledge and skills. (shrink)
- Restructuring Deliberation Using a CulturalTheory Lens.Teshanee Williams -2021 -Hastings Center Report 51 (S2):62-65.Designing broad public deliberation is challenging. In addition, participants of public deliberation are guided by their cultural norms, values, and rules. This creates a tension between the goal of practical approaches to broad public deliberation and how individuals perceive issues and relate to others in the world. Despite such challenges, we must continue to create opportunities for the public to deliberate about and provide input into the regulation of emerging technologies. Therefore, previously imagined approaches to broad public deliberation should be (...) reevaluated to better utilize the information gained during the process and expand the range of ideas incorporated into decision‐making. To do this, institutions must consider how the public makes sense of complex issues concerning cultural conflict. This article introduces a framework that demonstrates how culturaltheory can be used for rethinking previous approaches to public deliberation. In doing so, it offers guidelines for designing public deliberation involving distinct public participation venues based on different worldviews. (shrink)

Bookmark - Toward a reterritorialization of culturaltheory.Marek Tamm &Kalevi Kull -2016 -History of the Human Sciences 29 (1):75-98.This article argues that from a territorial perspective a certain coherence and continuity can be identified in the Estonian cultural-theoretical tradition – a discursive body based on common sources of influence and similar fundamental attitudes. We understand Estoniantheory as a local episteme – a territorialized web of epistemological associations and rules for making sense of the world, which favours some premises while discouraging others. The article focuses on the older layers of Estoniantheory, discussing the work of (...) Karl Ernst von Baer, Victor Hehn, Gustav Teichmüller, Jakob von Uexküll, Hermann Keyserling, Johannes Gabriel Granö, Juri Lotman a.o. We examine the philosophical foundations of Estoniantheory as well as its main epistemic facets. The article concludes that the conceptualization of Estoniantheory could contribute to a general transformation of contemporary (cultural)theory, a redefining of the relations between the centre and the peripheries.

- How to Test CulturalTheory: Suggestions for Future Research.Marco Verweij,Shenghua Luan &Mark Nowacki -unknownThis symposium highlighted the relevance of the culturaltheory pioneered by anthropologists Mary Douglas, Steve Rayner, and Michael Thompson and political scientists Aaron Wildavsky and Richard Ellis for explaining political phenomena. In this concluding article, we suggest ways in which CT can be further tested and developed. First, we describe how thetheory has been applied thus far and some of the achievements of these applications. Then, we examine some of the challenges revealed by this research. Finally, we (...) discuss ways of applying CT that promise to help meet these challenges. These methods include nesting case studies and combining case study and survey research, simulations, experiments, and approaches from social neuroscience. (shrink)
- CulturalTheory’s contributions to climate science: reply to Hansson.Marco Verweij,Steven Ney &Michael Thompson -2022 -European Journal for Philosophy of Science 12 (2):1-13.In his article, ‘Social constructionism and climate science denial’, Hansson claims to present empirical evidence that the culturaltheory developed by Dame Mary Douglas, Aaron Wildavsky and ourselves leads to science denial. In this reply, we show that there is no validity to these claims. First, we show that Hansson’s empirical evidence that culturaltheory has led to climate science denial falls apart under closer inspection. Contrary to Hansson’s claims, culturaltheory has made significant contributions to understanding (...) and addressing climate change. Second, we discuss various features of Douglas’ culturaltheory that differentiate it from other constructivist approaches and make it compatible with the scientific method. Thus, we also demonstrate that culturaltheory cannot be accused of epistemic relativism. (shrink)

- Philosophy in CulturalTheory.Peter Osborne -2000 - New York: Routledge._Philosophy in Cultural Theory_ boldly crosses disciplinary boundaries to offer a philosophical critique of culturaltheory today. Drawing on the legacy of Walter Benjamin, Peter Osborne looks critically at central philosophical debates in culturaltheory, such as: * the relationship between sign and image * the technological basis of cultural form * the conceptuality of art * the place of fantasy in human affairs. It will appeal to those in philosophy, cultural studies and arttheory.No categories

- On the Philosophical Life: A Refutation of CulturalTheory's Impossibility Theorem.Mark Nowacki -unknownCulturalTheory is breathtaking in its comprehensiveness and in its simplicity. With regard to CT’s comprehensiveness, it is entirely characteristic that when the three authors of CulturalTheory get around to asking themselves “What does culturaltheory leave out?”, their answer turns out to be a hearty “Not much!” In a single work, Michael Thompson manages to credit CT with shedding light on everything from environmental policies and Kondratiev waves, to Everest expeditions, the literary preferences of Benjamin (...) Disraeli, and Aristotle’s four causes. (shrink)

- Culturaltheory and its spaces for invention and innovation.Jason L. Mast -2013 -Mind and Society 12 (1):23-33.This article approaches the topics of invention and innovation by way of culturaltheory. Building on the works of Ferdinand de Saussure and John Austin, the article offers definitions of invention and innovation in semiotic and performative terms. It conceptualizes invention as a process of resignification, and frames innovation as a felicitous performative. Structuralisttheory appears to foreclose the potential for these two terms to exist in the empirical world. This article explores these barriers but also locates conceptual (...) spaces for invention and innovation, and identifies these phenomena as they occur in contemporary empirical sites. (shrink)

- Cultural studies and the symbolic: occasional papers in Cassirer and culturaltheory studies, presented at the University of Glasgow's Centre for Intercultural Studies.Paul Bishop &Roger H. Stephenson (eds.) -2003 - Leeds, U.K.: Northern Universities Press.Occasional Papers in Cassirer and Cultural-Theory Studies presented at the University of Glasgow's Centre for Intercultural Studies. Given the growing disenchantment, on all sides, with the 'hightheory' of the 1970s and 1980s, and with the dominant master-trope of literary and cultural reflexion of the 1980s and 1990s, the extended metaphor or 'allegory', this volume offers a timely re-examination of what, according to Goethe, is a deeper mode of understanding the symbol. Via the life-long preoccupation of Ernst Cassirer (...) with the problems of 'symbolic form', as he christened it, the papers collected here try to come to terms with the thinking of Goethe and Schiller on the symbol, and on related issues. Taken together, they attempt to elucidate the filiation of German classicism down through the nineteenth century to the present, in the belief that some of Cassirer's ideas have fed, often unacknowledged, into the mainstream of contemporary culturaltheory, and that the rigour of his thought can help clear up much of the confusion in that 'theory'.

- CulturalTheory and its Futures.Couze Venn -2007 -Theory, Culture and Society 24 (3):49-54.This introduction surveys a number of problems for contemporary culturaltheory, which arise from the transformations inculture that have been produced by developments ranging from the globalization of third wave capitalism to the emergence of tele-technologies. It summarizes arguments presented by Lash, Thoburn, Johnson, Terranova and Venn, as well as a number of reflections on the state of cultural studies outside Euro-America, to present alternative genealogies of cultural studies and open up new sites for theoretical elaboration.No categories
- Humor, Power andCulture: A NewTheory on the Experience and Ethics of Humor.Jennifer Marra -2019 - Dissertation, Marquette UniversityThe aim of this dissertation is to offer a newtheory of humor that takes seriously both the universality and power of humor inculture. In the first chapter, I summarize historical and contemporary theories, and show how each either 1) fails to give any definition of humor, 2) fails as atheory of humor, and/or 3) underappreciates, dismisses, or does not consider the power of humor in experience. The second chapter explains the failures of prior theories (...) by understanding the problem in terms of Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of symbolic forms. These forms ofculture are perspectives through which we express and understand our world, and each presents its own unique perspectives through which we can understand ourselves and the world. In the third chapter, I argue that humor is one of these necessary and universal symbolic forms ofculture. I argue that confusions in the philosophy of humor stem from approaches to humor that understand it as part of some other symbolic form rather than as a form itself. In the fourth chapter, I argue for the function of humor as that which reveals and exposes epistemic vices –laziness, arrogance, and closed-minded thinking about ourselves and the world. I support this argument by showing not only that all previous theories of humor have within them epistemic revelation as a consistent commonality, but also by showing that this revelation is necessary to the form of humor while it is, at best, accidental to other forms. In my final chapter, I suggest that we ought to approach humor objectively, and that the normativity of the symbolic forms guides us toward such an approach. I offer two objective questions to ask about a given instance of humor: 1) does the humor idealize a liberated end? and 2) does the humor fulfil the cultural function of the symbolic form it represents by disrupting epistemically vicious thinking? If the answer to both of these questions is affirmative, then it is likely that the humor in question is morally praiseworthy. I conclude by offering suggestions for further study.

- After the Human:Culture,Theory and Criticism in the 21st Century.Sherryl Vint (ed.) -2020 - New York, NY: Cambridge University Press.After the Human provides a comprehensive overview of how a range of philosophical, ethical, and political ideas under the framework of posthumanism have transformed humanities scholarship today. Bringing together a range of interdisciplinary scholars and perspectives, it puts into dialogue the major influences from philosophy, literary study, anthropology, and science studies that set the stage for a range of new questions to be asked about the relationship of the human to other life. The book's central argument is that posthumanism's challenge (...) to and disruption of traditional humanist knowledge is so significant as to presage a sea-change from the humanities into the posthumanities. After the Human documents the emergence of posthumanist ideas in the fractures within traditional disciplines, examines the new objects of analysis that thus came into prominence, and theorizes new interdisciplinary methods of study that followed.

- Skin and the Self: CulturalTheory and Anglo-American Psychoanalysis.Marc Lafrance -2009 -Body and Society 15 (3):3-24.In recent years, a number of cultural theorists have made important contributions to the study of the body’s surface. Despite their importance, however, none of these contributions provides us with a systematic framework for understanding why the body’s surface — its skin — matters to the extent that it does. In this article, I seek to provide such a framework and, in doing so, to shed light on why the skin and the self seem to share a special and sometimes (...) strained relationship. To this end, I will present a critical introduction to the work of two contemporary Anglo-American psychoanalysts: Esther Bick and Thomas Ogden. Throughout this introduction, I will show how both Bick and Ogden — despite the fact that they are almost completely unknown outside clinical circles — offer up a host of conceptual tools that could prove useful to cultural theorists interested in making sense of the relationship between the skin and the self.

- Rhythm Returns: Movement and CulturalTheory.Pasi Väliaho,Milla Tiainen &Julian Henriques -2014 -Body and Society 20 (3-4):3-29.This introduction charts several of rhythm's various returns as a way of laying out the theoretical and methodological field in which the articles of this special issue find their place. While Henri Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis is perhaps familiar to many, rhythm has appeared in a wide repertoire of guises, in many disciplines over the decades and indeed the centuries. This introduction attends to the particular roles of rhythm in the formation of modernity ranging from the processes of industrialization and the proliferation (...) of new media technologies to film and literary aesthetics as well as conceptualizations of human psychology, social behaviour and physiology. These are some of the historical antecedents to the contemporary understandings of rhythm within body studies to which most of the contributions to this issue are devoted. In this respect, the introduction outlines recent approaches to rhythm as vibration, a force of the virtual, and an intensive excess outside consciousness. (shrink)No categories

- After Foucault :Culture,Theory and Criticism in the 21st Century. After Series.Lisa Downing (ed.) -2018 - Cambridge University Press.The work of Michel Foucault is much read, widely cited, and occasionally misunderstood. In response to this state of affairs, this collection aims to clarify, to contextualize, and to contribute to Foucauldian scholarship in a very specific way. Rather than offering either a conceptual introduction to Foucault's work, or a series of interventions aimed specifically at experts, After Foucault explores his critical afterlives, situates his work in current debates, and explains his intellectual legacy. As well as offering up-to-date assessments of (...) Foucault's ongoing use in fields such as literary studies, sexuality studies, and history, chapters explore his relevance for urgent and emerging disciplines and debates, including ecology, animal studies, and the analysis of neoliberalism. Written in an accessible style, by leading experts, After Foucault demonstrates a commitment to taking seriously the work of a key twentieth-century thinker for contemporary academic disciplines, political phenomena, and cultural life.

- CulturalTheory, Ethics and Politics.Oskar Gruenwald -1992 -Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies 4 (1-2):1-26.Politicalculturetheory enjoyed a revival during the 1980s despite its alleged inability to account for change, values, conflict, and differences within nations. A new school of thought attempts to remedy the shortfalls of Almond and Verba's The CivicCulture. The grid-group culturaltheory, propounded by Thompson, Ellis and Wildavsky, proposes a typology of ways of life as the missing link in a cultural-functional analysis of the formation of preferences. This essay assesses culturaltheory as (...) a methodology and a substantivetheory or sociology of knowledge. Culturaltheory claims that there are only five possible ways of life: Hierarchy, egalitarianism, fatalism, individualism, and autonomy. Yet it fails to address questions of universal values, ethics, power, or human rights and freedoms. There are inherent problems in applying culturaltheory as a mode of political analysis. In the absence of exogenous, non-systemic ethical criteria, culturaltheory as a social construction of reality begs the question of ethical conduct. (shrink)No categories

- Accounting for political preferences: Culturaltheory vs. cultural history.Jeffrey Friedman -1991 -Critical Review: A Journal of Politics and Society 5 (3):325-351.Liberalism sanctifies the values chosen by the sovereign individual. This tends to rule out criticisms of an individual's “preference” for one value over another by, ironically, establishing a deterministic view of the self that protects the self's desires from scrutiny. Similarly, rational choice approaches to socialtheory begin with previously determined individual preferences and focus on the means by which they are pursued, concentrating on the results rather than the sources of people's values.A striking new attempt to go behind (...) the liberal and rational‐choice starting point in order to understand political preferences is found in Aaron Wildavsky's CulturalTheory. Yet CulturalTheory does not facilitate the criticism of preferences, because its understanding of them is fundamentally liberal. Even while rejecting methodological individualism, CulturalTheory's monocausally socialtheory of preference formation retains in a new guise the liberal preservation of preferences from criticism by reestablishing a deterministic view of the formation of values, leading it to share with liberalism an a historical view of their origins.

- Music and CulturalTheory.John Shepherd &Peter Wicke (eds.) -1997 - Polity Press ; Published in the USA by Blackwell.In this book Shepherd and Wicke make a bold and original contribution to the understanding of music as a form of human expression. They argue that music is fundamental to social life. Music is not merely a form of leisure or entertainment: it is central to the very formation and reproduction of human societies. The authors pursue this argument through a wide-ranging assessment of some of the major cultural theoretical contributions to understanding music. Theories ofculture, linguistic theories, structuralist (...) and post-structuralist theories and psychoanalytic theories of music are carefully explained and critically examined. The authors then develop their own account of music as a non-referential yet material form of human expression which embodies and conveys principles of symbolic structuring. They emphasize the human body as a principal site for the musical mediation of social and symbolic processes. Music and CulturalTheory establishes new links between musicology and cultural studies, showing how each discipline can inform and enrich the other. It will be recommended reading for students and professionals in musicology, media and communication studies, cultural studies and the sociology ofculture. (shrink)

- A Critique of CulturalTheory's Impossibility Theorem.Mark Nowacki -unknownVarious proponents of CulturalTheory have claimed that CT's Impossibility Theorem, namely that there are precisely five viable ways of life, has been formally proved. In this paper, I show that the Impossibility Theorem has not been formally proved and present a refutation of the Impossibility Theorem. With regard to, the problem areas identified include a failure to take into account the analogical nature of theirtheory and also a failure to carefully consider the nature of the relationship (...) between mathematical models and the empirical phenomena that they are supposed to model. With regard to, an empirically grounded description of a distinct, sixth viable way of life, here called the Philosophical way of life, is presented. Second, a general argument is presented that demonstrates the necessity of positing a sixth form of rationality and a sixth viable way of life in addition to the five rationalities and five ways of life recognized by CT.

- Enduring Resistance: CulturalTheory After Derrida =.Sjef Houppermans &Rico Sneller (eds.) -2010 - Rodopi.Addressing both the humanities and the social sciences, this volume aims to explore the enduring significance of the work of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) in the field of culturaltheory. It assembles a variety of articles by internationally renowned scholars from different academic disciplines and traditions. Contrary to recent commemorative publications on Derrida¿s oeuvre, this volume proposes to critically evaluate and rethink key concepts in Derrida¿s work within the present state of affairs in culturaltheory. Centred around four main (...) topics (manoeuvres, societies, images and fictions), the sections propose a creative and contemporary reading of `Derrida¿ and its openings to new work in culturaltheory. Ce livre qui se destine à la fois aux humanités et aux études sociales tente d¿explorer la signification durable de l¿¿uvre de Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) dans le champ de la théorie culturelle. Il rassemble un ensemble d¿articles variés écrits par des chercheurs de renommée internationale provenant de différentes disciplines et traditions académiques. S¿opposant par là à la majorité du flot de publications récentes sur l¿¿uvre de Derrida ce volume se propose d¿évaluer et de repenser d¿un point de vue critique les concepts clé de Derrida tenant compte de l¿état actuel de la recherche en études culturelles. Centrées autour de quatre domaines majeurs (man¿uvres ¿ sociétés ¿ images ¿ fictions), les sections offrent une lecture créatrice et actuelle de `Derrida¿ et des ouvertures que sa pensée permet vers une nouvelle idée de la théorie culturelle.

- Beyond cultural imperialism: Culturaltheory, Christian missions, and global modernity.Ryan Dunch -2002 -History and Theory 41 (3):301–325.“Cultural imperialism” has been an influential concept in the representation of the modern Christian missionary movement. This essay calls its usefulness into question and draws on recent work on the cultural dynamics of globalization to propose alternative ways of looking at the role of missions in modern history. The first section of the essay surveys the ways in which the term “cultural imperialism” has been employed in different disciplines, and some of the criticisms made of the term within those disciplines. (...) The second section discusses the application of the cultural imperialism framework to the missionary enterprise, and the related term “colonization of consciousness” used by Jean and John Comaroff in their influential work on British missionaries and the Tswana of southern Africa. The third section looks at the historiography of missions in modern China, showing how deeply the teleological narratives of nationalism and development have marked that historiography. The concluding section argues that the missionary movement must be seen as one element in a globalizing modernity that has altered Western societies as well as non-Western ones in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and that a comparative global approach to the missionary movement can help to illuminate the process of modern cultural globalization.
