Worker's culture: An attempt at a definition

The difficulties that exist in humanistic studies to define workers' culture have given rise to numerous theoretical problems. In the first part, they are addressed and it is about establishing four fundamental points in the theoretical construction of the concept of culture, to later analyze what is a cultural fact. In a third section, attempts are made to establish the historical conditions for the emergence of workers' culture as a result of specific social, economic and political transformations. At the same time, the two great periods that characterize this culture are sketched: the time of the mass-worker and that of the social-worker. Finally, its disappearance in the 21st century is justified.
