Etymology
The term 'reculture' is derived from the prefix 're-', which means 'again' or 'back', and the word 'culture', which originates from the Latin 'cultura', meaning 'cultivation' or 'care'. The combination suggests a process of cultivating or nurturing culture anew. The usage of the term has evolved in recent decades, particularly in social sciences and organizational studies, to address the need for cultural change in response to globalization and social justice movements. As societies become more interconnected, the concept of reculturing has become increasingly relevant for understanding how communities adapt to new challenges while trying to preserve their heritage.
