cultural studies and the new populism  

Definition

  • “The cultural turn” in the social sciences recognises that all human practice is mediated symbolically and therefore must be understood as meaningful. This way of thinking can be traced back to Max Weber's switch from economics to sociology and the methodological principles of Verstehen.
