Question

What does culturnomics mean?

Answer 1

Very simply (and not quoting a confusing article from a google search), culturnomics means the "politics of culture".

The subject of culturnomics is something that is used today in analytical comparative literature, for example.  In the past, culture was sub-divided into "high" culture, "popular" culture, and "sub-cultures" for analysis.

Today culture is divided into many different way, i.e. "minority" v. "professional", and it is possible for a work to be placed into more than one category for analysis, allowing for a greater diversity among works and their analysis.

The term has moved to other disciplines as well and essentially used in the same manner: a way to categorize a culture and to expand or limit its diversity, which might be based on political decisions whether of a government or just those in charge of making the rules (like the MLA for critical literature analysis).

Answer 2

In an increasingly connected world, there are no specialty areas. Integration into a growing global economy encompasses both economic and trans-economic issues. At the Davos World Economic Forum

2001, the term “culturnomics” was coined to define how various intellectual disciplines needed to be

combined in order to gain a more complete view of the issues facing a “global” economy.
