Cultural poetics

Cultural poetics is the study of how culture, art, and literature interact and shape each other. It examines texts—including literature, music, and visual art—in their social and historical contexts, exploring how they reflect, influence, or challenge cultural norms and values. This approach emphasizes the fluidity of meaning, suggesting that interpretations can change over time and across different societies. By analyzing these connections, cultural poetics helps us understand the deeper significance of creative works and their roles in shaping identities, ideologies, and social practices.
