Picture Reminder:
Ø
Keep
listening and looking for resonances, echoes, patterns. Think about archetypes! J
What
is Culture?
·
For
some it refers to an appreciation of good literature, music, art, and
food.
·
For
a biologist, it is likely to be a colony of bacteria or other microorganisms
growing in a nutrient medium in a laboratory Petri dish.
Ø
However,
for anthropologists and other behavioral scientists, culture is the full range of learned human behavior
patterns. The term was first
used in this way by the pioneer English Anthropologist Edward B. Tylor in his
book, Primitive Culture, published in
1871. Tylor said that culture is "that complex whole which includes
knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom, and any other capabilities and
habits acquired by man as a member of society."
Ø
Of
course, it is not limited to men. Women
possess and create it as well. Since
Tylor's time, the concept of culture has become the central focus of
anthropology.
Ø
Culture
is a powerful human tool for survival, but it is a fragile phenomenon. It
is constantly changing and easily lost because it exists only in our
minds. Our written languages,
governments, buildings, and other man-made things are merely the products of
culture. They are not culture in
themselves.
Ø
For
this reason, archaeologists cannot dig up culture directly in their
excavations. The broken pots and other
artifacts of ancient people that they uncover are only material remains that
reflect cultural patterns--they are things that were made and used through
cultural knowledge and skills.
