   What is a culture war?

   • And therefore, the “culture war” is really about the mobilization of political resources —of people and votes and parties—around certain positions on cultural issues. In that sense, a “culture war” is really about politics.

   Are 'culture wars' really a battle between cultures?

   • The current conflict over values — the “culture wars” — is not really a battle between cultures, he argues, “but an attempt to conceptualise values above and beyond culture”. The result has been an “aggressive normativity”: everybody should explicitly know what is the proper behaviour in any given situation. Deviation is not tolerated.

   Does America have a culture war?

   • Instead, 30 years later, Hunter sees America as having doubled down on the “war” part—with the culture wars expanding from issues of religion and family culture to take over politics almost totally, creating a dangerous sense of winner-take-all conflict over the future of the country.

   Is there a class-culture conflict?

   • But, today, as that conflict has grown, “instead of just culture wars, there’s now a kind of class-culture conflict” that has moved beyond the simple boundaries of religiosity. “The earlier culture war really was about secularization, and positions were tied to theologies and justified on the basis of theologies,” says Hunter.

   Is a culture war really about politics?

   • In that sense, a “culture war” is really about politics. But the bigger story is about the cultures that underwrite our politics, and the ways in which our politics become reflections of deeper cultural dispositions—not just attitudes and values—that go beyond our ability to reason about them.

   Does culture war colonize American politics?

   • And this reality—that the culture war has colonized American politics—is troubling precisely because of an observation Hunter made in 1991 about the difference he saw between political issues and culture war fights: “On political matters, one can compromise; on matters of ultimate moral truth, one cannot.” Where does that leave us?

   15 hours ago · In Culture Wars: The Struggle to Define America, a book I published in 1991, I (for better or worse) contributed to this narrative. In that book, I noted what was then a novelty: the emergence in American political culture of two rival moral visions—one progressive, the other culturally conservative.

   Sep 22, 2020 · Thirty years ago, the philosopher Judith Butler*, now 64, published a book that revolutionised popular attitudes on gender. Gender Trouble, the work she is perhaps best known for, introduced ideas of gender as performance. It asked how we define “the category of women” and, as a consequence, who it is that feminism purports to fight for.
