Document Summary
Sociology of culture lecture 1: culture as a field is really expansive, the way that culture is used in day to day life is vague to sociologists, culture is: institutionalized, norms, values, beliefs, practices, and expressive symbols. Institutionalized family can be institutionalized, religion can be institutionalized talking about the mental structures that block your actions rather than physical structures. No not everything is cultural, it can be narrowed down to ethereal forms and material forms of culture. If everything is cultural it would not be worth studying. Sociology of culture lecture 2: reading responses can be written in first person but best to confirm with ta, cultures and society reader ch 1 . Talks about how cultures flow and how norms come to be. How and why culture works the way it does. Griswold sets up to different ways to look at culture, one way is an older humanities way and the other way is a newer sociological way.
