Hello readers!
Here my blog. We are know about culture. And culture always like traditional thinking. I have give some questions.
Question:1 what is Culture?
"Culture " ,derives form of "Cultura" and " colere" meaning "to cultivate ". It also meant "to honor" and " project " by the 19th century in Europe it tastes of the upper class. Culture is the mode of producing meaning and ideas. This' mode' is a negotiation over which meaning are valid. Elite culture controls meanings because it controls the terms of the debate.
The arts and other manifestations of human intellectual achievement regarded collectively. This article is about culture as used in the social sciences and humanities of uses in the natural sciences. See ,cell culture and Tissue culture.
Culture is an umbrella term which encompasses the social behavior and norms found in human societies, as well as the knowledge, beliefs, arts , laws , customs , capabilities and habits of the individuals in these groups. Humans acquire culture through the learning processes of acculturation and socialization, which is shown by the diversity of cultures across society. The word " Culture " itself it so difficult to pin down, "cultural studies " is hard to define. As far as cultural study is concerned, it has broader meaning because we see from various perspective than an individual can know what actually it lays in the meaing .
Question:2 what is cultural studies?
Cultural studies is a field of theoretically, politically, and empirically engaged cultural analysis that concentrates upon the political dynamics of contemporary culture, its historical foundations , defining traits ,conflicts, and contingencies. Cultural studies researches generally investigate how cultural practices relate to wider systems of power associated with or operating through social phenomena, such as ideology, class structures , national formations, ethnicity ,sexaul orientation , gender, and generation.
Cultural studies is the science of understanding modern socity, with an emphasis on politics and power cultural studies is an umbrella term used to look at a number of different subject.
"Cultural studies is not a tightly coherent unified movement with a fixed agenda, but a loosely coherent group of tendencies, issues, and questions. "

Question:3 Four goal of cultural studies
《1》 Cultural studies transcends the confines of a particular discipline such as literary criticism or history:
Cultural studies transcend the confine of a particular discipline such as literary criticism or history,. Practiced in such junral as critical inquiry, representations , and boundary2, cultural involves scrutinizing the cultural phenomenon of text . For example Italian opera, a Latino telenovela, the architectural styles of prisons, body pircing and drawing conclusion about the change in textual phenomena obver time.
Cultural studies are not necessarily about literature in the traditional sense or even about "art". In their introduction to cultural studies , editors Lawrence grossberg nelson, and paula trencher emphasize that the intellectual promise of cultural studies lies in the attempts to " cut across diverse social andpolitical interests and address many of the struggles with in the current sense. "
Intellectual works are not limited by thier own " borders" as single texts, historical problems or disciplines, and the critic's own personal connections to what is being analyzed Amy also be described.
Henry Giroux and others write in their Dalhousie review manifesto that cultural studies practitioners are " resisting intellectuals ."
《2》 Cultural studies is politically engaged:
Cultural critics see themeselves as " oppositional " , not only within their own disciplines but to many of the power structures of the society at large. Thet question inequalities within power structures and seek to discover models for restructuring relationships among dominant and " minority" or "subalten" discourses. Because meaning and individual subjectivity are culturally constructed, thus they cane be reconstructed. Such a notion , taken to a philosophical extreme, denies the autonomy of the individual, whether an actual person or a character in literature, a rebuttal of the traditional humanistic " Greek Man" or "Greek Book" theory , and a relocation of aesthetics and culture from the ideal realms of test and sensibility into the arena of a whole society 's everyday life as it is constructed.
《3》 Cultural studies denies the separation of " high" and "low" or elite or popular culture:
Being a" cultured" person means acquainted with" highbrow" art and intellectual pursuits. Cultural critics work to transfer the term to include mass structure , whether popular, folk , or urban. Following theorists jean Baudrillard and Andeas Huygens, cultural critics argue that after World war 2 the distinctions among, high , low and mass culture collapsed, and they cite other theorists such as Pierre Bordeaux or Dick Hebdige on how " good taste" often only reflects prevailing social, economic, and political power bases. Drawing upon the ideasof French historian Michael de Certeau ,cultural critics examine " the practice of everyday life," studying literature as an anthropologist would, as a phenomenon of culture , including a culture 's economy
. Rather than determining which are the " best" works produced, cultural critics describe what is produced and how various productions relate to one another. They aim to reveal the political, economic reasons why a certain cultural product is more valued at certain times than others. " The Birth of Captain Jack sparrow: An Analysis " and " pirates of the Caribbean : The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)" are some famous works and movies.
《4》 Cultural studies analysis not only the cultural work, but also means of production:
Marxist critics have long recognized the importance of such para literary questions as these : who supports a given artist? A well known analysis of literary production is Janice Radway' s study of the American romance novel and its readers, Reading the Romance: women, patriarchy and popular literature, which demonstrates the textual effects of the publishing industry 's decisions about books that will minimize its financial risks. Reading in America, edited by Cathy N . Davidson , which includes essay on literacy and gender in colonial New England; urban magazine audiences in Eighteenth century New York city; the impact upon reading of techical innovations as cheaper eyeglasses , electric lights, and trains ; the Book of the Month Club ; and how writers and texts go through fluctuations of popularity and canonicity. These studies help us recognize that literature does not occur in a space seprate from other concerns of our lives.

Question: 4 How is understanding " power" at the center of cultural studies?
About my opinion on this t video Power is most important in society. For example like democracy power. So why democracy is important in society? In this video related political power. So political power is most important in society.
Question: 5 Display your understanding of these topics with unique example. You can also write about the example discussed in the class.
Cultural studies related religious, nation , society, etc. So cultural studies depend of many thinks. Cultural studies is not production. Power is most important in society. And i have cultural studies connected with literature. We can see the many book in literature.
Thank you....
