The document discusses cultural codes and their role in understanding cultures. It defines cultural codes as a set of images and stereotypes that shape cultural unconscious and behaviors. There are three types of cultural codes - preliterate (traditional), literary, and screenful - each containing basic codes that generate new, secondary codes.
