Culture, by: Terry Eagleton

The term (culture) remained one of the most problematic words in terms of concept and applications, and cultural studies — which is considered a knowledge field in which anthropology, sociology, history of ideas, linguistics, folklore, and institutional government policies intersect — remained a battleground where the echo of intense intellectual battles did not fade, especially after the Second World War, where culture became a means of soft power in the Cold War, then turned into a weapon of globalization that seeks to expand the scope of symbolic capitalism supported by material industries that elevate the status of advanced economies and reinforce their dominance on the global stage. Below is a translation of the book (Culture) published by Yale University in 2016 by the renowned British author (Terry Eagleton), who is a literary critic, theorist, and researcher in the field of cultural studies and cultural policies. Eagleton has published many books, some of which have been translated into Arabic (including his memoir published by Dar Al-Mada under the title "The Gatekeeper" in 2015). It should be noted here that this book (Culture) is a standalone and distinguished book from another book Eagleton published earlier titled (The Idea of Culture), which has been translated into Arabic.
