Models of Cultural Reproduction as Drivers of Socio-cultural Resilience: Insights from a Systematic Review.

AIM: To examine the determinants influencing cultural reproduction, comprehend the fundamental concepts of cultural reproduction, and evaluate the model of cultural reproduction as a manifestation of socio-cultural resilience.

MATERIALS AND

METHODS

The research employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, utilizing the PRISMA protocol and the PICO framework. Data were sourced from Scopus, Web of Science, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, chosen based on inclusion criteria (2015-2025, empirical articles, pertinent to socio-cultural resilience). Of the 688 initial articles, 143 studies met the criteria. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) was used to assess quality, and NVivo 14 was used for thematic synthesis to find patterns of direct relationships, mediation, and moderation between factors.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS: The analysis identified eight principal factors: education, politics, family, economy, media, technology, religion, and community. Politics (15.3%) and education (17.6%) were the most important factors. Cultural reproduction operates through micro-macro interactions involving direct relationships (family, religion, community), mediation (education, media, politics, technology), and moderation (economics, technology). The resulting integrative model elucidates how this amalgamation of factors enhances socio-cultural resilience through conservation and value adaptation.

CONCLUSIONS

Cultural reproduction serves both as a means of value preservation and as an adaptive mechanism that enhances social resilience. This research enhances Bourdieu's theory by incorporating digital and participatory dimensions, providing a conceptual foundation for sustainable cultural policy.
