Socialist Review - Issue 7
| The word "culture" has always seemed both too broad and too narrow to be really useful. Its aesthetic meaning includes Stravinsky but not necessarily science fiction; its anthropological sense may stretch from hairstyles and drinking habits to the manufacture of drainpipes. In its turbulent career as a concept, culture has been both a synonym and an antonym of "civilisation," has pivoted between actual and ideal, and hovered precariously between the descriptive and the normative. | |
