This lecture was about different cultures and what represents them, we looked at various examples such as culture club and bits of Yinka Shonibare's work.
Culture is about shared meanings and representation is the way we make sense of and share meanings.
'We use the word culture in these two senses: to mean a whole way of life – the common meanings; to mean the arts and learning – the special processes of discovery and creative effort. Some writers reserve the word for one or other of these senses; I insist on both, and on the significance of their conjunction...Culture is ordinary, in every society and in every mind.'
