Thanks very much to everyone who contributed. I would never have believed that culturologist was an English word. Jack gets the points because I'm so excited to have the full name of Leslie A. White (sometimes I trawl through the Internet for hours looking for people's first names to replace all those initials with!). Guess I should invest in a Webster's!

culture expert


Explanation:
Похоже, что culturologist - это чисто русское изобретение и встречается только в русских текстах. Culture expert будет более понятно для иностранного читателя.

cultural historian


Explanation:
In the following passage, Linda White (who may or may not be the L. White referred to) describes someone obviously working in the same field as herself as a "cultural historian", and the subject matter looks similar to yours.

Robin Walz. Pulp Surrealism: Insolent Popular Culture in Early Twentieth-Century Paris.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2000. 206p.
Linda White
University of Nevada, Reno

Cultural historian Robin Walz focuses on mass print culture as one of the harbingers of modernity and modernism and as one environment for the emergence of surrealism. In an academic field such as mine (Basque studies) where post-modernism has dominated the conversation for the last few years and thinkers such as Manuel Castells and Joseba Zulaika have shaped the overarching rhetoric, this retrospective on pre-modernist French culture is a welcome respite. It also serves as a reminder that modes of thinking evolve within a physical milieu, and that thinkers are responding to stimuli as mundane as road construction and the closure of a favorite coffee shop. The "isms" may define mentalities, but the mentalities are shaped by physical realities. In literature, it is easy to lose sight of this seminal fact as the text, or a text or any text, becomes the point of departure for further layers of thought and rhetoric.
