Peter Burger

Peter Burger was a Swiss sociologist known for analyzing how art and culture shape modern society. He argued that contemporary cultural institutions, like museums and theaters, serve to reinforce social structures and authority. Burger viewed art not just as creative expression but as a means of understanding societal values, power dynamics, and historical change. His work encourages us to see cultural activities as interconnected with social, political, and economic systems, revealing how culture influences and reflects the way societies organize themselves.
