This groundbreaking book delves into the intricate realms of sensemaking and cultural processes, recognizing their paramount importance in the scientific study of contemporary complex societies. It presents a dynamic and processual conception of culture, offering a comprehensive perspective on the role of cultural dynamics in policy-making. Through its insightful analysis, it unveils three significant methodological implications: pluralism, performativity, and semiotic capital.

The book's central focus lies in the theoretical and methodological exploration of culture and its dynamic nature, with the potential to apply these insights to the development of policymaking and a deeper understanding of social phenomena. Drawing upon the rich experience and data gathered from the large-scale project RECRIRE, funded by the H2020 program, the book further strengthens the relationship between culture and policy-making, building upon the discussions explored in two previous volumes in this series.

As the ideal culmination of this trilogy, the book serves as a valuable resource for academics engaged in the study of cultural dynamics, as well as for policy-oriented researchers and decision-makers who recognize the cultural dimensions of policy design, implementation, and reception. It provides a comprehensive framework for analyzing and interpreting the complex interplay between culture and society, offering valuable insights into the shaping of our world.
