cultural gatekeeping
Cultural gatekeeping is the practice of controlling or regulating access to certain cultural resources or elements within a society. This can include deciding who gets to participate in certain cultural activities, determining which cultural products or practices are considered valuable or legitimate, and setting boundaries around what is considered acceptable or appropriate within a particular culture. Cultural gatekeeping can impact the way ideas, identities, and values are transmitted and maintained within a society, shaping the cultural landscape and influencing social dynamics.
