This entry approaches culture as a processual, socio-material field of learning and meaning-making, rather than as a bounded system or explanatory variable. The concept of culture can be situated at the interdisciplinary intersection between anthropology and psychology. Its historical colonial emergence is discussed, notably in early anthropology and psychology, and the entry critiques its appropriation in both disciplines. It is emphasized that while psychology in general often treats culture as an external variable affecting individual minds, anthropology sites with critical and cultural psychology in viewing culture as a system of material practices and meanings constituting human experience and action. Postcolonial critiques examine how early Western conceptualizations of culture framed the “other” as culturally distinct and primitive (Mbembe 2001; Mohanty 1984; Mudimbe 1988). The entry problematizes this singular view of culture by showing the concept’s multiplicity, which range from normative systems to dynamic, embodied practices. The contribution clarifies that understanding cognition, learning, and identity requires a cultural lens, not as a fixed structure, but as a situated, interpretive, and material field of relations.
