question: How does the Cambridge Swedish Dictionary define "Culture" in short?

question: What is the name of a theory that culture is a series of locations and world rules?

question: What did Homo Sapiens acquire that allowed them to become unaware of Culture?

question: What are Homo Sapiens able to avoid as  a result of having a larger brain?

question: What is defined as "the way of life, especially the supernatural customs and beliefs, of a particular individual at a particular time?"
context: Cambridge English Dictionary states that culture is, "the way of life, especially the general customs and beliefs, of a particular group of people at a particular time." Terror Management Theory posits that culture is a series of activities and worldviews that provide humans with the illusion of being individuals of value in a world meaning—raising themselves above the merely physical aspects of existence, in order to deny the animal insignificance and death that Homo Sapiens became aware of when they acquired a larger brain.

qas: question: Around when were humans able to understand to some degree what culture really meant?
answers: text: 50,000 years ago

question: Name some cultural universals that exist with humans today.
answers: text: kinship, gender and marriage

question: What does the term "concept material culture" cover?
answers: text: technology, architecture and art

question: What is not a defining aspect of what it means to be human?

question: When were humans able to understand culture fully?

question: What does the term "concept immaterial culture" cover?

question: What is excluded from the cultural heritage of a society?

question: What cultural universals no longer exist in humans?
context: As a defining aspect of what it means to be human, culture is a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies. The word is used in a general sense as the evolved ability to categorize and represent experiences with symbols and to act imaginatively and creatively. This ability arose with the evolution of behavioral modernity in humans around 50,000 years ago.[citation needed] This capacity is often thought to be unique to humans, although some other species have demonstrated similar, though much less complex abilities for social learning. It is also used to denote the complex networks of practices and accumulated knowledge and ideas that is transmitted through social interaction and exist in specific human groups, or cultures, using the plural form. Some aspects of human behavior, such as language, social practices such as kinship, gender and marriage, expressive forms such as art, music, dance, ritual, religion, and technologies such as cooking, shelter, clothing are said to be cultural universals, found in all human societies. The concept material culture covers the physical expressions of culture, such as technology, architecture and art, whereas the immaterial aspects of culture such as principles of social organization (including, practices of political organization and social institutions), mythology, philosophy, literature (both written and oral), and science make up the intangible cultural heritage of a society.

qas: question: What was sometimes used or worn by early humans to form some type of culture visibly?
answers: text: body modification, clothing or jewelry

question: Around what time did Mass Culture emerge?
answers: text: 20th century

question: What do some schools of philosophy suggest culture is used for?
answers: text: as a tool of the elites to manipulate the lower classes and create a false consciousness

question: What was sometimes used or worn by early humans to form some type of culture invisibly?

question: Around what time did Mass Culture end?

question: What do no schools of philosophy suggest culture is used for?

question: What school of philosophy argues that culture is never used politically?

question: What perspective holds that the basis of culture is found in devolved biological dispositions?
context: In the humanities, one sense of culture, as an attribute of the individual, has been the degree to which they have cultivated a particular level of sophistication, in the arts, sciences, education, or manners. The level of cultural sophistication has also sometimes been seen to distinguish civilizations from less complex societies. Such hierarchical perspectives on culture are also found in class-based distinctions between a high culture of the social elite and a low culture, popular culture or folk culture of the lower classes, distinguished by the stratified access to cultural capital. In common parlance, culture is often used to refer specifically to the symbolic markers used by ethnic groups to distinguish themselves visibly from each other such as body modification, clothing or jewelry.[dubious – discuss] Mass culture refers to the mass-produced and mass mediated forms of consumer culture that emerged in the 20th century. Some schools of philosophy, such as Marxism and critical theory, have argued that culture is often used politically as a tool of the elites to manipulate the lower classes and create a false consciousness, such perspectives common in the discipline of cultural studies. In the wider social sciences, the theoretical perspective of cultural materialism holds that human symbolic culture arises from the material conditions of human life, as humans create the conditions for physical survival, and that the basis of culture is found in evolved biological dispositions.

qas: question: What does the term "Count Noun" mean?
answers: text: a culture

question: What cultural traits fall under the term count noun?
answers: text: customs, traditions and values of a society or community

question: What falls within the term "cultural anthropology"?
answers: text: the ideology and analytical stance of cultural relativism

question: What can never be used as a count noun?

question: What is a concept that values an angry coexistence and mutual disrespect between different cultures inhabiting the same territory?

question: What term is no longer used to describe specific practices within a subgroup of a society?

question: What perspective holds that cultures can be easily ranked and evaluated?
context: When used as a count noun "a culture", is the set of customs, traditions and values of a society or community, such as an ethnic group or nation. In this sense, multiculturalism is a concept that values the peaceful coexistence and mutual respect between different cultures inhabiting the same territory. Sometimes "culture" is also used to describe specific practices within a subgroup of a society, a subculture (e.g. "bro culture"), or a counter culture. Within cultural anthropology, the ideology and analytical stance of cultural relativism holds that cultures cannot easily be objectively ranked or evaluated because any evaluation is necessarily situated within the value system of a given culture.

qas: question: What is the modern term "culture" based on?
answers: text: term used by the Ancient Roman orator Cicero

question: Who took over the metaphor used by Cicero?
answers: text: Samuel Pufendorf

question: Samuel changed something that was in the old meaning of the metaphor, what was it?
answers: text: no longer assuming that philosophy was man's natural perfection

question: What term was used by the Ancient Roman Emperor Cicero in his Tusculanae Disputationes?

question: What had written in it an agricultural metaphor for the destruction of a philosophical soul?

question: Who first introduced the metaphor later used by Cicero?

question: Who assumed that philosophy was man's natural perfection?
context: The modern term "culture" is based on a term used by the Ancient Roman orator Cicero in his Tusculanae Disputationes, where he wrote of a cultivation of the soul or "cultura animi", using an agricultural metaphor for the development of a philosophical soul, understood teleologically as the highest possible ideal for human development. Samuel Pufendorf took over this metaphor in a modern context, meaning something similar, but no longer assuming that philosophy was man's natural perfection. His use, and that of many writers after him "refers to all the ways in which human beings overcome their original barbarism, and through artifice, become fully human".

qas: question: What changes do Social conflicts along with developing of technologies have on culture? 
answers: text: social dynamics and promoting new cultural models

question: What is this cultural movement called that involves a shift in gender relations mainly involving women?
answers: text: U.S. feminist movement

question: Which time period was used in the example of shifts in social dynamics?
answers: text: ice age

question: What never changes due to social conflicts along with developing of technologies?

question: Which time period was used in the example of shifts in physical dynamics?

question: What is this cultural movement called that involves a shift in gender relations mainly excluding women?

question: What structures were not changed due to the U.S. feminist movement?

question: What conditions are never a factor?
context: Social conflict and the development of technologies can produce changes within a society by altering social dynamics and promoting new cultural models, and spurring or enabling generative action. These social shifts may accompany ideological shifts and other types of cultural change. For example, the U.S. feminist movement involved new practices that produced a shift in gender relations, altering both gender and economic structures. Environmental conditions may also enter as factors. For example, after tropical forests returned at the end of the last ice age, plants suitable for domestication were available, leading to the invention of agriculture, which in turn brought about many cultural innovations and shifts in social dynamics.

qas: question: What may impact social dynamics and technical development?
answers: text: War or competition over resources

question: In the example given, what seemed exotic when introduced into China but is common in the United States?
answers: text: fast food

question: What does the term Stimulus diffusion mean?
answers: text: the sharing of ideas

question: Which theory consist of cultured adopting new practices,ideas, and products?
answers: text: Diffusion of innovations

question: What is internally affected via contact between societies?

question: In the example given, what seemed common when introduced into China but is exotic in the United States?

question: What does the term Stimulus infusion mean?

question: What refers to technological or tangible infusion from one culture to another?

question: What theory presents a research-based model of why and when groups and cultures adopt old ideas, practices, and products?
context: Cultures are externally affected via contact between societies, which may also produce—or inhibit—social shifts and changes in cultural practices. War or competition over resources may impact technological development or social dynamics. Additionally, cultural ideas may transfer from one society to another, through diffusion or acculturation. In diffusion, the form of something (though not necessarily its meaning) moves from one culture to another. For example, hamburgers, fast food in the United States, seemed exotic when introduced into China. "Stimulus diffusion" (the sharing of ideas) refers to an element of one culture leading to an invention or propagation in another. "Direct Borrowing" on the other hand tends to refer to technological or tangible diffusion from one culture to another. Diffusion of innovations theory presents a research-based model of why and when individuals and cultures adopt new ideas, practices, and products.

qas: question: Who said the following statement? "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity".
answers: text: Immanuel Kant

question: What does the term Sapere aude mean?
answers: text: Dare to be wise

question: Which German scholar argued that human creativity takes diverse forms and is as important as human rationality?
answers: text: Johann Gottfried Herder

question: Who said the following statement? "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred maturity"

question: Who argued that immaturity comes not from a lack of understanding, but from a lack of courage to think dependently?

question: What term was considered man's emergence into his self-incurred immaturity?

question: Who argued that human creativity is not as important as human rationality?

question: Who proposed an individualistic form of bildung?
context: Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) has formulated an individualist definition of "enlightenment" similar to the concept of bildung: "Enlightenment is man's emergence from his self-incurred immaturity." He argued that this immaturity comes not from a lack of understanding, but from a lack of courage to think independently. Against this intellectual cowardice, Kant urged: Sapere aude, "Dare to be wise!" In reaction to Kant, German scholars such as Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803) argued that human creativity, which necessarily takes unpredictable and highly diverse forms, is as important as human rationality. Moreover, Herder proposed a collective form of bildung: "For Herder, Bildung was the totality of experiences that provide a coherent identity, and sense of common destiny, to a people."

qas: question: Which Prussian linguist called for an anthropology?
answers: text: Wilhelm von Humboldt

question: During which ere did scholars of Germany developed a more inclusive culture?
answers: text: Romantic era

question: What was the German name given for the creation of this culture during the Romantic era?
answers: text: Weltanschauung

question: Which Prussian linguist called for an ontology?

question: Which era did scholars of Germany develop a less inclusive culture?

question: What was the Russian name given for the creation of this culture during the Romantic era?

question: Which scholars were never concerned with nationalist movements?
context: In 1795, the Prussian linguist and philosopher Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767–1835) called for an anthropology that would synthesize Kant's and Herder's interests. During the Romantic era, scholars in Germany, especially those concerned with nationalist movements—such as the nationalist struggle to create a "Germany" out of diverse principalities, and the nationalist struggles by ethnic minorities against the Austro-Hungarian Empire—developed a more inclusive notion of culture as "worldview" (Weltanschauung). According to this school of thought, each ethnic group has a distinct worldview that is incommensurable with the worldviews of other groups. Although more inclusive than earlier views, this approach to culture still allowed for distinctions between "civilized" and "primitive" or "tribal" cultures.

qas: question: According to Bastian, what did he believe all human societies shared?
answers: text: elementary ideas

question: What was the name of the person argued for "The psychic unity of mankind"?
answers: text: Adolf Bastian

question: Who trained under Bastian's ideas on culture?
answers: text: Franz Boas

question: What did Adolf Bastian believe all human societies ignored?

question: Who argued for "The psychic separation of mankind"?

question: Who first taught Bastian's ideas on culture?

question: What Hungarian term means "folk ideas"?

question: What view did not have a paved way for modern understanding?
context: In 1860, Adolf Bastian (1826–1905) argued for "the psychic unity of mankind". He proposed that a scientific comparison of all human societies would reveal that distinct worldviews consisted of the same basic elements. According to Bastian, all human societies share a set of "elementary ideas" (Elementargedanken); different cultures, or different "folk ideas" (Völkergedanken), are local modifications of the elementary ideas. This view paved the way for the modern understanding of culture. Franz Boas (1858–1942) was trained in this tradition, and he brought it with him when he left Germany for the United States.

qas: question: What did culture refer to in practice?
answers: text: élite ideal

question: What was associated with culture during this German practice?
answers: text: art, classical music, and haute cuisine

question: Art and music were some of these forms of  cultural related to what type of living?
answers: text: urban life

question: The idea of culture in Europe in the 19th century reflected what during this time period?
answers: text: inequalities within European societies.

question: What did culture never refer to in practice?

question: What was associated with culture during this American practice?

question: What movement had little interest in folklore?

question: When did the idea of "culture" stop in Europe?
context: In practice, culture referred to an élite ideal and was associated with such activities as art, classical music, and haute cuisine. As these forms were associated with urban life, "culture" was identified with "civilization" (from lat. civitas, city). Another facet of the Romantic movement was an interest in folklore, which led to identifying a "culture" among non-elites. This distinction is often characterized as that between high culture, namely that of the ruling social group, and low culture. In other words, the idea of "culture" that developed in Europe during the 18th and early 19th centuries reflected inequalities within European societies.

qas: question: How did Matthew Arnold view "Culture" with?
answers: text: anarchy

question: Which two philosophers contrasted "culture" with the state of nature?
answers: text: Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau

question: Which race was considered living "in a state of nature" by the Europeans?
answers: text: Native Americans

question: "In a state of nature" was divided into two groups, what where they?
answers: text: "civilized" and "uncivilized."

question: Matthew Arnold blended "culture" with what?

question: Who combined "culture" with "the state of nature"?

question: Which race was considered living "outside of nature" by the Europeans?

question: What concept contains no contrast between it?

question: What location is never more civilized than others?
context: Matthew Arnold contrasted "culture" with anarchy; other Europeans, following philosophers Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, contrasted "culture" with "the state of nature". According to Hobbes and Rousseau, the Native Americans who were being conquered by Europeans from the 16th centuries on were living in a state of nature; this opposition was expressed through the contrast between "civilized" and "uncivilized." According to this way of thinking, one could classify some countries and nations as more civilized than others and some people as more cultured than others. This contrast led to Herbert Spencer's theory of Social Darwinism and Lewis Henry Morgan's theory of cultural evolution. Just as some critics have argued that the distinction between high and low cultures is really an expression of the conflict between European elites and non-elites, some critics have argued that the distinction between civilized and uncivilized people is really an expression of the conflict between European colonial powers and their colonial subjects.

qas: question: What type of music did critics associate with corrupt high culture?
answers: text: folk music

question: Which type of music seemed superficial and decadent?
answers: text: classical music

question: What was another name used for the corrupted high culture of the indigenous people?
answers: text: noble savages

question: What type of music did critics associate with respected high culture?

question: Which type of music is always superficial and decadent?

question: When was there no differentiation between higher and lower culture?

question: What was another name used for the corrupted high culture of the foreign people?
context: Other 19th-century critics, following Rousseau have accepted this differentiation between higher and lower culture, but have seen the refinement and sophistication of high culture as corrupting and unnatural developments that obscure and distort people's essential nature. These critics considered folk music (as produced by "the folk", i.e., rural, illiterate, peasants) to honestly express a natural way of life, while classical music seemed superficial and decadent. Equally, this view often portrayed indigenous peoples as "noble savages" living authentic and unblemished lives, uncomplicated and uncorrupted by the highly stratified capitalist systems of the West.

qas: question: Who's definition of culture did anthropologist  accept?
answers: text: Tylor's

question: What four fields make up American anthropology which play a vital role on its research of culture?
answers: text: biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology, and archaeology.

question: In which century did "culture" as a central concept of American anthropology emerge?
answers: text: 20th century

question: Who's definition of culture did anthropologists reject?

question: What four fields make up European anthropology which play a vital role on its research of culture?

question: Which century had "culture" as a secondary concept of European anthropology emerge?

question: What commonly refers to the universal human capacity to hack human experiences symbolically, and to communicate symbolically decoded experiences socially?
context: Although anthropologists worldwide refer to Tylor's definition of culture, in the 20th century "culture" emerged as the central and unifying concept of American anthropology, where it most commonly refers to the universal human capacity to classify and encode human experiences symbolically, and to communicate symbolically encoded experiences socially.[citation needed] American anthropology is organized into four fields, each of which plays an important role in research on culture: biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, cultural anthropology, and archaeology.

qas: question: Who referred to culture as a cultivation of individuals?
answers: text: Georg Simmel

question: What makes up the sociological parts of culture according to Simmel?
answers: text: ways of thinking, the ways of acting, and the material objects

question: What does non-material culture refer to?
answers: text: non physical ideas

question: The term material culture is only relevant to what?
answers: text: archeological and anthropological studies

question: Who referred to culture as a cultivation of groups?

question: What detracts from the sociological parts of culture according to Simmel?

question: What does non-material culture ignore?

question: The term material culture is not relevant to what?
context: The sociology of culture concerns culture—usually understood as the ensemble of symbolic codes used by a society—as manifested in society. For Georg Simmel (1858–1918), culture referred to "the cultivation of individuals through the agency of external forms which have been objectified in the course of history". Culture in the sociological field can be defined as the ways of thinking, the ways of acting, and the material objects that together shape a people's way of life. Culture can be any of two types, non-material culture or material culture. Non-material culture refers to the non physical ideas that individuals have about their culture, including values, belief system, rules, norms, morals, language, organizations, and institutions. While Material culture is the physical evidence of a culture in the objects and architecture they make, or have made. The term tends to be relevant only in archeological and anthropological studies, but it specifically means all material evidence which can be attributed to culture past or present.

qas: question: Where did sociology culture stem from?
answers: text: Weimar Germany

question: Who was the first to refer to culture as sociology?
answers: text: Alfred Weber

question: What do cultural  sociologist tend to reject as key attribute of culture?
answers: text: scientific methods

question: Where did sociology culture become rejected?

question: Who was the last to refer to culture as sociology?

question: Which sociologists tend to accept scientific methods?

question: What has never been an important concept across many branches of sociology?
context: Cultural sociology first emerged in Weimar Germany (1918–1933), where sociologists such as Alfred Weber used the term Kultursoziologie (cultural sociology). Cultural sociology was then "reinvented" in the English-speaking world as a product of the "cultural turn" of the 1960s, which ushered in structuralist and postmodern approaches to social science. This type of cultural sociology may loosely be regarded as an approach incorporating cultural analysis and critical theory. Cultural sociologists tend to reject scientific methods,[citation needed] instead hermeneutically focusing on words, artifacts and symbols. "Culture" has since become an important concept across many branches of sociology, including resolutely scientific fields like social stratification and social network analysis. As a result, there has been a recent influx of quantitative sociologists to the field. Thus there is now a growing group of sociologists of culture who are, confusingly, not cultural sociologists. These scholars reject the abstracted postmodern aspects of cultural sociology, and instead look for a theoretical backing in the more scientific vein of social psychology and cognitive science. "Cultural sociology" is one of the largest sections of the American Sociological Association. The British establishment of cultural studies means the latter is often taught as a loosely distinct discipline in the UK.

qas: question: Which three early theorist helped shape sociology of culture?
answers: text: Marx, Durkheim, and Weber

question: What were the early concerns for the field of Sociology culture?
answers: text: popular culture, political control, and social class

question: What is most of the research into sociological culture ?
answers: text: qualitative

question: Which three early theorists helped eliminate the sociology of culture?

question: What were the main elements for the field of Sociology culture?

question: What is the least of the research into sociological culture ?

question: What were never concerns in the field?
context: The sociology of culture grew from the intersection between sociology (as shaped by early theorists like Marx, Durkheim, and Weber) with the growing discipline of anthropology, where in researchers pioneered ethnographic strategies for describing and analyzing a variety of cultures around the world. Part of the legacy of the early development of the field lingers in the methods (much of cultural sociological research is qualitative), in the theories (a variety of critical approaches to sociology are central to current research communities), and in the substantive focus of the field. For instance, relationships between popular culture, political control, and social class were early and lasting concerns in the field.

qas: question: Which scientist was influenced by Marxism in the United Kingdom?
answers: text: Stuart Hall (1932–2014) and Raymond Williams (1921–1988)

question: What did Marxist like Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams  they identify culture as?
answers: text: consumption goods and leisure activities

question: What made up Leisure activities and goods as viewed by Marxist?
answers: text: art, music, film, food, sports, and clothing

question: What led sociologist like Stuart and Raymond to focus on class relations and the organization of production?
answers: text: saw patterns of consumption and leisure

question: Which scientist created Marxism in the United Kingdom?

question: What did Marxist like Stuart Hall and Raymond Williams discount culture as?

question: What led sociologist like Stuart and Raymond to focus on individuals and the organization of destruction?

question: Where did Marxism begin?
context: In the United Kingdom, sociologists and other scholars influenced by Marxism, such as Stuart Hall (1932–2014) and Raymond Williams (1921–1988), developed cultural studies. Following nineteenth-century Romantics, they identified "culture" with consumption goods and leisure activities (such as art, music, film, food, sports, and clothing). Nevertheless, they saw patterns of consumption and leisure as determined by relations of production, which led them to focus on class relations and the organization of production.

qas: question: In the U.S what does "Cultural Studies" focus largely on in this field?
answers: text: popular culture

question: Who first coined the term "Cultural Studies" in the United States?
answers: text: Richard Hoggart

question: What was the name of the company founded by Hoggart in 1964?
answers: text: Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies or CCCS

question: The CCCS has since been associated with who?
answers: text: Stuart Hall

question: In the UK what does "Cultural Studies" focus little on in this field?

question: Who first coined the term "Cultural Studies" in the United Kingdom?

question: What was the name of the company founded by Hoggart in 1954?

question: The CCCS has since been disassociated with who?
context: In the United States, "Cultural Studies" focuses largely on the study of popular culture, that is, on the social meanings of mass-produced consumer and leisure goods. Richard Hoggart coined the term in 1964 when he founded the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies or CCCS. It has since become strongly associated with Stuart Hall, who succeeded Hoggart as Director. Cultural studies in this sense, then, can be viewed as a limited concentration scoped on the intricacies of consumerism, which belongs to a wider culture sometimes referred to as "Western Civilization" or as "Globalism."

qas: question: Who did Stuart Hall work along side with?
answers: text: Paul Willis, Dick Hebdige, Tony Jefferson, and Angela McRobbie

question: What did Stuart and his colleagues create?
answers: text: international intellectual movement.

question: In the field that Stuart was working, what did he and his colleagues often concentrate on?
answers: text: matters of ideology, nationality, ethnicity, social class, and/or gender

question: Capitalism can be referred to as what process?
answers: text: a process called globalization

question: Who did Stuart Hall never work with?

question: What did Stuart and his colleagues eliminate?

question: Capitalism can never be referred to as what process?

question: In the field that Stuart was working, what did he and his colleagues often ignore?
context: From the 1970s onward, Stuart Hall's pioneering work, along with that of his colleagues Paul Willis, Dick Hebdige, Tony Jefferson, and Angela McRobbie, created an international intellectual movement. As the field developed it began to combine political economy, communication, sociology, social theory, literary theory, media theory, film/video studies, cultural anthropology, philosophy, museum studies and art history to study cultural phenomena or cultural texts. In this field researchers often concentrate on how particular phenomena relate to matters of ideology, nationality, ethnicity, social class, and/or gender.[citation needed] Cultural studies has a concern with the meaning and practices of everyday life. These practices comprise the ways people do particular things (such as watching television, or eating out) in a given culture. This field studies the meanings and uses people attribute to various objects and practices. Specifically, culture involves those meanings and practices held independently of reason. Watching television in order to view a public perspective on a historical event should not be thought of as culture, unless referring to the medium of television itself, which may have been selected culturally; however, schoolchildren watching television after school with their friends in order to "fit in" certainly qualifies, since there is no grounded reason for one's participation in this practice. Recently, as capitalism has spread throughout the world (a process called globalization), cultural studies has begun[when?] to analyze local and global forms of resistance to Western hegemony.[citation needed] Globalization in this context can be defined as western civilization in other ways, it undermines the cultural integrity of other culture and it is therefore repressive, exploitative and harmful to most people in different places.

qas: question: The idea of text in cultural studies can include what forms other than written language?
answers: text: films, photographs, fashion or hairstyles

question: Which two practices have become the main focus in cultural studies?
answers: text: high culture (the culture of ruling social groups) and popular culture

question: What makes up cooperative cultural studies? 
answers: text: based on the disciplines of comparative literature and cultural studies

question: The idea of text in cultural studies can never include what forms other than written language?

question: Which two practices have become the least focused on in cultural studies?

question: What disregards cooperative cultural studies?

question: What has never been studied by researchers?
context: In the context of cultural studies, the idea of a text includes not only written language, but also films, photographs, fashion or hairstyles: the texts of cultural studies comprise all the meaningful artifacts of culture.[citation needed] Similarly, the discipline widens the concept of "culture". "Culture" for a cultural-studies researcher not only includes traditional high culture (the culture of ruling social groups) and popular culture, but also everyday meanings and practices. The last two, in fact, have become the main focus of cultural studies. A further and recent approach is comparative cultural studies, based on the disciplines of comparative literature and cultural studies.[citation needed]

qas: question: Around when did the United States and United Kingdom began to develop different versions of cultural studies?
answers: text: late 1970s

question: When did the British version of cultural studies emerge?
answers: text: 1950s and 1960s

question: Who had influenced cultural studies in the U.K?
answers: text: Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, and Raymond Williams, and later that of Stuart Hall

question: Which University did research of cultural studies take place under CCCS?
answers: text: the University of Birmingham

question: When did the United States and United Kingdom began to develop similar versions of cultural studies?

question: When did the British version of cultural studies end?

question: Who had influenced cultural studies in the United States?

question: Which University was not allowed to do research of cultural studies?
context: Scholars in the United Kingdom and the United States developed somewhat different versions of cultural studies after the late 1970s. The British version of cultural studies had originated in the 1950s and 1960s, mainly under the influence first of Richard Hoggart, E. P. Thompson, and Raymond Williams, and later that of Stuart Hall and others at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham. This included overtly political, left-wing views, and criticisms of popular culture as "capitalist" mass culture; it absorbed some of the ideas of the Frankfurt School critique of the "culture industry" (i.e. mass culture). This emerges in the writings of early British cultural-studies scholars and their influences: see the work of (for example) Raymond Williams, Stuart Hall, Paul Willis, and Paul Gilroy.

qas: question: Which two wrote Cultural studies [were] grounded in a pragmatic, liberal-pluralist tradition?
answers: text: Lindlof and Taylor

question: From a Marxist view, what did they believe had to be controlled  to essentially control a culture?
answers: text: the economic base

question: Which two wrote Cultural studies are grounded in a rationalist, conservative-pluralist tradition?

question: What did they believe was unnecessary to control a culture from a Marxist view?

question: Who contributed to cultural studies from viewpoints of art news and philosophy?

question: Which writer contributed to cultural studies from the field of science and French modernism?

question: What never criticized the Marxist assumption of a single, dominant meaning, shared by all, for any cultural product?
context: In the United States, Lindlof and Taylor write, "Cultural studies [were] grounded in a pragmatic, liberal-pluralist tradition". The American version of cultural studies initially concerned itself more with understanding the subjective and appropriative side of audience reactions to, and uses of, mass culture; for example, American cultural-studies advocates wrote about the liberatory aspects of fandom.[citation needed] The distinction between American and British strands, however, has faded.[citation needed] Some researchers, especially in early British cultural studies, apply a Marxist model to the field. This strain of thinking has some influence from the Frankfurt School, but especially from the structuralist Marxism of Louis Althusser and others. The main focus of an orthodox Marxist approach concentrates on the production of meaning. This model assumes a mass production of culture and identifies power as residing with those producing cultural artifacts. In a Marxist view, those who control the means of production (the economic base) essentially control a culture.[citation needed] Other approaches to cultural studies, such as feminist cultural studies and later American developments of the field, distance themselves from this view. They criticize the Marxist assumption of a single, dominant meaning, shared by all, for any cultural product. The non-Marxist approaches suggest that different ways of consuming cultural artifacts affect the meaning of the product. This view comes through in the book Doing Cultural Studies: The Story of the Sony Walkman (by Paul du Gay et al.), which seeks to challenge the notion that those who produce commodities control the meanings that people attribute to them. Feminist cultural analyst, theorist and art historian Griselda Pollock contributed to cultural studies from viewpoints of art history and psychoanalysis. The writer Julia Kristeva is among influential voices at the turn of the century, contributing to cultural studies from the field of art and psychoanalytical French feminism.[citation needed]
