#38 – What is High and Low Culture?
Manage episode 245171357 series 2279810
In this episode, Virgil and his previous guests Danny and Matt, discuss the concepts of High and Low culture. This episode will focus on discussing why these cultural forces and cultural divisions are important. Through these discussions, we can learn more about our culture, which gives us a more nuanced view of our society. High culture is a collection of cultural products, mainly in the arts, held in the highest esteem by a culture. Low culture is a collection of cultural products not held in the highest esteem by a culture. High culture is the culture of the elites within a society. Low culture is connected to popular/mass culture and is the culture of the everyman. Through this discussion, we hope to explore better these two cultures and how they interface with society and where or not these divisions have disappeared over time.
