Document Summary
3 different facets of culture we should consider: cultural objects/products: sound, visual, prints (films, cds, fashion, technology, etc. ) Mass produced = cultural products: cultural sites: where pop culture is consumed (theatres, etc. , cultural context: a cultural studies critic would analyze an object within their larger social context to fully learn its meaning. Appreciating culture (art, etc. ) was not straightforward. Would say that different reactions to culture was an effect of our education, and that different social groups are trained to react differently in relation to culture. Relationships of social inequality were reproduced through the education system. Everyday culture: cultural activities in which people engage as part of their ordinary lives. The distinction between the two is no longer very clear because they are often mixed together. Placido flamingo, from sesame street, brought opera (high culture) to children"s television (low culture) Hegemony: a development of ideology describing the underlying forces that maintain the status quo of society.
