Literary notes about cultural (AI summary)
In literature the term "cultural" functions as a multifaceted descriptor that goes beyond mere art or tradition to encompass the entire spectrum of social practices, values, and collective identities. Writers use it to demarcate broad historical or social processes—for example, referring to the "cultural process" that underlies historical change and the transmission of collective memories [1, 2]—and to contrast differing societal systems, as seen in the portrayal of divisions between Oriental and Occidental values [3]. In some texts it marks institutions and educational endeavors aimed at preserving a nation's heritage [4, 5], while in others it highlights conflict and competition between different ways of life [6, 7]. Overall, “cultural” is employed to signal the dynamic interplay of customs, social organization, and historical legacy, framing both conflicts and connections across diverse human experiences [8, 9].
