Cultural Transformation and Social Resilience: Interdisciplinary Perspectives in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Keywords:
Cultural Change, Resilience, Social Transformation, Interdisciplinary Studies, Humanities, Social SciencesAbstract
This article explores the dynamic interplay between cultural transformation and social resilience through an interdisciplinary lens that integrates insights from the humanities and social sciences. In the face of globalization, migration, technological change, and environmental disruption, communities worldwide are experiencing profound cultural shifts that challenge traditional values, identities, and practices. Drawing on theoretical perspectives and empirical case studies, the article examines how cultural resources such as memory, narrative, heritage, and education function as tools of resilience. Case studies from indigenous disaster responses, migrant urban neighborhoods, and digital youth cultures illustrate how resilience emerges through both structural adaptation and symbolic meaning-making. The article also highlights the role of education and public policy in fostering resilience by promoting inclusive cultural frameworks and empathetic understanding. By bridging disciplinary boundaries, this study contributes to a more holistic understanding of how societies can adapt to transformation while maintaining social cohesion and identity continuity.
