Cultural technology (English) is a term that arose from postmodern interpretations of how ideas are used by cultures to frame meaning and the interpretation of concepts; and thus how technologies of thought and culture shape identity and thinking about the self. The term was first used by Australian writer, therapeutic theorist, and social worker Michael White in his lectures in 1991. Karl Tomm, a noted Canadian social worker, traces the use of the term to earlier lectures by Michael White in his foreword to Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends (1990). Giorgio Agamben discusses how the French philosopher Michel Foucault might have used the term apparatus in a synonymous way to describe the collection of ideas, practices, and meaning that determine how people, bodies, and institutions enact power/knowledge or how power/knowledge enact people, bodies, and institutions.
