Cultural MaterialismFor much of the 20th century, idealist accounts sought to represent culture as pure consciousness, while materialist accounts represented it as a secondary effect of some other material reality. From the 1970s, however, new theoretical paradigms have sought rather to establish the materiality of culture itself. The term cultural materialism, coined by Raymond Williams, describes this emergent body of cultural theory. |
