The entry begins with an overview of cultural politics as a site of social struggle that emphasizes identity, marginalization, and empowerment, offering examples of the activist projects and academic debates that this configuration of its meaning and practice has yielded. The discussion addresses how anthropologists have analyzed cultural politics in relation to the concept of hegemony, the dynamics of globalization and the transnational economy, and performances of cultural citizenship. Next, the entry focuses on the particular challenges and opportunities for anthropologists conducting ethnographic research on cultural politics. It concludes by referencing theory on the ethical dimensions of fieldwork to examine how anthropologists also engage cultural politics as an everyday activity and intersubjective process. Methodological approaches to ethnography that value embodiment and emplacement over identity and difference suggest new stakes and potential for cultural politics as an instrument of social justice
