An "automatic" way of defining the imaginary lack of boundaries separating all of mankind’s' different forms of expression (or ways of life). Automatic, because defining a lack of boundaries is already setting one down, a naive and amateurish approach to definition... the differences between "cultures" truly do exist, depending on a psychological approach to the matter (surrounding influences) or on a social level (poverty...)
Affirming that a "culture", a way of life enacted by a certain category of human beings, has the same basic roots as another "culture". Although the use of the word "culture" already incites our limited knowledge of another way of life. The truest way of defining a lifestyle or a form of expression is a certain distance from it, without prejudice or past reference, and applying a comparison (this said, not a qualitative one) to it.
The ensemble of collected knowledge of all of mankind’s' past creations, and their categorization.
Culturetheory is that branch of anthropology and other related social science disciplines (i.e., for example, sociology) that seeks to define the heuristic concept of culture in operational and/or scientific terms.
In the 19th century culture was used by some to refer to a wide array of human activities, and by others as a synonym for "civilization".
The British version of cultural studies was developed in the 1960s mainly under the influence of Richard Hoggart and Stuart Hall at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies at the University of Birmingham.
