3 points on cultural studies by raymond williams
Williams
delineates “three general categories” in the defi nition of culture: 1) the
“ideal, in which culture is a state or process of human perfection, in
terms of certain absolute or universal values”; 2) “the ‘documentary,’ in
which culture is the body of intellectual and imaginative work, in which,
in a detailed way, human thought and experience are variously recorded”;
and 3) “the ‘social’ defi nition of culture, in which culture is a description
of a particular way of life, which expresses certain meanings and values
not only in art and learning but also in institutions and ordinary behaviour”
(Long Revolution 41).
