As a discipline, '''cultural analysis''' is based on using [[qualitative research]] methods of the arts, [[humanities]], [[social sciences]], in particular [[ethnography]] and [[anthropology]], to collect data on [[Culture|cultural phenomena]] and to interpret cultural representations and practices; in an effort to gain new knowledge or understanding through analysis of that data and cultural processes. This is particularly useful for understanding and mapping trends, influences, effects, and affects within cultures.
