Raymond Williams' cultural materialism emerged as a lens through which we understand the intricate relationship between culture and society. It is a response to traditional cultural theories that often view culture as separate from the material world. According to Williams, culture is rooted in material conditions, including the economy, technology, and social structures. He argued that to comprehend culture fully, one must consider how it is produced, distributed, and consumed within a particular societal context. Cultural materialism seeks to uncover the intricate connections between culture and its material foundations.
