In 'Culture,' renowned literary theorist Terry Eagleton meticulously dissects one of the most complex and pervasive concepts of our time. Moving beyond simplistic definitions, Eagleton embarks on an intellectual journey through the history of the term, from its Romantic origins to its contemporary multi-faceted interpretations. He explores how 'culture' has been understood in various contexts – as a process of development, a way of life, a body of artistic works, and a site of political struggle. With his characteristic wit and critical acumen, Eagleton illuminates the ideological underpinnings of cultural discourse, challenging readers to rethink their assumptions about what culture is and how it shapes our world. This concise yet profound work offers an indispensable guide to navigating the intricate landscape of cultural theory.
