The culture turn is a dynamic process that since the nineteenth century has unfolded in the worlds of theory, art, and politics. The reference to a “culture turn” captures a widespread movement – played out differently in various disciplines, nations, and traditions – that emphasizes the importance of art and culture for education, moral growth, and social criticism and change. By the 1980s this development had led to an explosion in forms of cultural studies, identity politics, and multiculturalism in response to changes in the structure of capitalism and relationships within and between economic, cultural, and political institutions
