Editor's Notes
- Selectivity – Hinged in Language as Cultural Studies – Ethnography of Lived Experiences – rather than one voice Based around work in Britain, U.S., Europe, and Australia… Not Latin America, Africa, or Asia Work is selected because of its relevance in defining and establishing the notions that undergird many of the theories of culture espoused in modern educational spaces. Parameters – CS is hinged in its formation or ways of knowing, through language, actions, defining objects in way that become common, and the social activities that determine concepts, ideas and concerns. CS is determined by a regulated way of communicating ideas, beliefs and norms within a society and societies at large. The first CCCS is based at Birmingham University in the UK in the 1960s, but since the founding many practitioners and centers have formed throughout the world with the sole purpose being to understand lived experiences of diverse cultures from varied lenses including archeologically, linguistically, sociologically, politically, and historically just to name a few approaches. CS is often criticized because of its limitations of voice, scientific lens, diverse methodologies, and perceived understanding of the other through the lenses of majority cultural representations of European norms and all others as measuring against such defined norms.
- Shared process of Meaning Production = Signifying Practices How meanings are constructed and by whom - Representation Ensuring that cultural texts and meanings are not reduced to its economic value avoiding making meanings of culture through a lens of economic or political value – Materialism and Non- Reductionism Concept of communicating relationships in moment that is understandable – man, married, white, tall, etc. Enslaving and Empowering – Power Hegemony – Ideological naming and reproducing of concepts to subordinate one group to another – women (weaker, stay at home, mother’s, nurturers, etc.) Varied meanings per the lens of the reader of the texts, in time and distance to the texts or group Defining of oneself in relation to the meanings we make of the world around us
