Concept information
Preferred term
Raymond Williams
Definition(s)
- Raymond Williams’ background in working class rural Wales before attending Cambridge University (UK) as both student and professor is significant, in that the lived experience of working class culture and a commitment to democracy and socialism are themes of his writing. Williams’ work was extremely influential in the development of cultural studies through his understanding of culture as constituted by ‘a whole way of life’. His anthropologically inspired grasp of culture as ordinary and lived, sometimes dubbed ‘culturalism’, helped to legitimize the study of popular culture.
