cultural fragmentation
Definition
- The concept of cultural fragmentation implies the disintegration of “singular” cultures and the formation of numerous diverse cultures, be they associated with particular ethnicities, religions, concepts of nationhood or people groups, or those associated with particular forms of lifestyle, values, or commodification. The notion of cultural fragmentation has been linked with processes of globalization and is particularly associated with the ascendency of postmodernism as a condition of society.
