Cultural Criticism

What is Cultural Criticism This form of criticism examines how different religions, ethnicities, class identifications, political beliefs, and individual viewpoints affect the ways in which texts are created and interpreted. Cultural Criticism suggests that being a part of—or excluded from—a specific group or culture contributes to and affects our understanding of texts.

Four Common ideas in cultural criticism Ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual identity, and so on are crucial components in formulating plausible interpretations of text. While the emphasis is on diversity of approach and subject matter, Cultural Criticism is not the only means of understanding ourselves and our art. An examination or exploration of the relationship between dominant cultures and marginalized cultures is essential. When looking at a text through the perspective of marginalized, or subordinate, peoples, new understandings emerge.
