章节摘录

插图：Culture is a complicated notion. According to He et al. （2004:18）, there are morethan one hundred definitions offered by researchers, from different perspectives. To namejust a few of them, such as Hall's definition: "For anthropologists, culture has long stoodfor the way of life of a people, for the stun of their learned behavior patterns, attitudes,and material things. " （ Hall 1959:43 ）. Hoebel and Frost （ 1976:6 ） defme it as an"integrated system of learned behavior patterns which are characteristic of the members ofa society and which are not the result of biological inheritance".Samovar et al. （2000:36） define culture as:We define culture as the deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, actions, attitudes,meanings, hierarchies, religion, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of theuniverse, and artifacts acquired by a group of people in the course of generations throughindividual and group striving.From the above definitions, we reach such a conclusion that culture can be broadenough to cover everything, or so narrow to cover only certain regions. This is bestrepresented in Scollon & Scollon's definition （2000:126）. According to them, culture canbe divided into high culture （narrow sense） and anthropological culture （broad sense）.High culture focuses on intellectual and artistic achievements. One might speak of acity as having a great deal of culture because there were many art exhibits, concertperformances, and public lectures. Or we might speak of a particular period in history,such as the Elizabethan period of England, as a high point in Engish culture because of thegreat number of musicians and poets of that time whose works we still revere. The Tang period in Chinese history is generally regarded as a period of high culture as well.Anthropological culture refers to any of the customs, world view, language, kinshipsystem, social organization, and other taken-for-granted day-to-day practices of a peoplewhich set that group apart from other groups as a distinctive group.  By using the anthropological sense of the word "culture", we mean to consider any aspect of the ideas, communications, or behaviors of a group of people which gives them a distinctive identity and which is used to organize their internal sense of cohesion and membership.In studies of intercultural communication, our concern is not with high culture, but with anthropological culture.  Culture contains art, politics, economics, education, literature, language, and thought etc.
