What do you see here? Elements of culture?

APHG: Introduction to Culture

Important Terminology Folk Culture – traditionally practiced by a small, homogeneous, rural group living in relative isolation. Popular Culture – found in a large, heterogeneous society that shares certain habits despite differences in personal characteristics. Material Culture – the physical objects produced by a culture in order to meet its material needs: food, clothing, shelter, arts, and recreation. Non-Material Culture: non-physical things we value: patriotism, honesty, religion, etc.

Important Terms Habit – repetitive act performed by an individual. Custom – frequent repetition of an act until it becomes characteristic of a group of people..(a widely adopted habit) Taboo – a restriction on behavior imposed by social custom.

Folk culture varies from place to place!!! Folk Culture – rapidly changing and/or disappearing throughout much of the world. Guatemalan Market Portuguese Fishing Boat Folk culture varies from place to place!!! Turkish Camel Market

Folk Culture Stable and close knit Usually a rural community Tradition controls Resistance to change Buildings erected without architect or blueprint using locally available building materials Anonymous origins, diffuses slowly through migration. Develops over time. Clustered distributions: isolation/lack of interaction breed uniqueness and ties to physical environment.

Pop culture varies from time to time!!! Popular culture: people share certain habits (like wearing jeans)despite differences in other personal characteristics. Pop culture covers a larger scale of territory than folk culture…why? Based on rapid simultaneous global connections, rapid diffusion modern tech, communication systems Allows for frequent change in pop culture Pop culture varies from time to time!!!

Popular Culture Clothing: Jeans, for example, and have become valuable status symbols in many regions including Asia and Russia despite longstanding folk traditions.

FOLK ARCHITECTURE

FOLK ARCHITECTURE Effects on Landscape: usually of limited scale and scope. Agricultural: fields, terraces, grain storage Dwellings: historically created from local materials: wood, brick, stone, skins; often uniquely and traditionally arranged; always functionally tied to physical environment.

FOLK FOOD How did such differences develop?

Hog Production and Food Cultures Fig. 4-6: Annual hog production is influenced by religious taboos against pork consumption in Islam and other religions. The highest production is in China, which is largely Buddhist.

U.S. House Types by Region Small towns in different regions of the eastern U.S. have different combinations of five main traditional house types.

North American Folk Culture Regions

Washing Cattle in Ganges Food Taboos: Jews – can’t eat animals that chew cud, that have cloven feet; can’t mix meat and milk, or eat fish lacking fins or scales; Muslims – no pork; Hindus – no cows (used for oxen during monsoon) Washing Cattle in Ganges

Popular Culture Wide Distribution: differences from place to place uncommon, more likely differences at one place over time. Housing: only small regional variations, more generally there are trends over time Food: franchises, cargo planes, superhighways and freezer trucks have eliminated much local variation. Limited variations in choice regionally, esp. with alcohol and snacks. Substantial variations by ethnicity.

Diffusion of TV, 1954–1999 Fig. 4-14: Television has diffused widely since the 1950s, but some areas still have low numbers of TVs per population.

A Mental Map of Hip Hop Fig. 4-3: This mental map places major hip hop performers near other similar performers and in the portion of the country where they performed.

Popular Culture Effects on Landscape: creates homogenous, “placeless” (Relph, 1976), landscape… EVERYTHING LOOKS THE SAME. Complex network of roads and highways Commercial Structures tend towards ‘boxes’ Dwellings may be aesthetically suggestive of older folk traditions Planned and Gated Communities more and more common Disconnect with landscape: indoor swimming pools, desert surfing.

Are places still tied to local landscapes? Surfing at Disney’s Orlando Typhoon Lagoon Are places still tied to local landscapes?

Problems with the Globalization of Culture Often Destroys Folk Culture – or preserves traditions as museum pieces or tourism gimmicks. Mexican Mariachis; Polynesian Navigators; Cruise Line Simulations Change in Traditional Roles and Values; Polynesian weight problems Satellite Television, Baja California

Problems with the Globalization of Popular Culture Western Media Imperialism? U.S., Britain, and Japan dominate worldwide media. Glorified consumerism, violence, sexuality, and militarism? U.S. (Networks and CNN) and British (BBC) news media provide/control the dissemination of information worldwide. These networks are unlikely to focus or provide third world perspective on issues important in the LDCs.

Cultural Progress???? “They’re growing houses in the fields between the towns.” - John Gorka, Folk Singer
