	ENGLISH COUNTRY DANCING - ORIGINS AND EVOLUTION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)

	Culture
		The term "culture" has come to be used in a dizzying variety of ways, according to the critic Stephen Greenblatt, including: the limited sense of high culture (opera, oil painting, classical music), the sociological sense (youth culture, artistocratic culture, mtv culture), and as a descriptive equivalent of civilization (to be cultured and not savage).
		In cultural and literary studies of the last twenty years, many critics have helped to give a more specific or specialized meaning to the term so that it ultimately becomes more useful.
		The cultural emphasis of the course will help us to see, discuss, and better understand such differences.
