	Deliberative Cultural Policy Practices - Cultural Commons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		At their root deliberative cultural policy practices seeks to understand and organize the ways in which individuals use their imaginations and the language of imagination, which is poetic as opposed to scientific.
		Deliberative cultural policy analysis and practices, vis-Ã -vis the intermediary as deliberative practitioner, employs the âsubjectsâ of research in the analysis of and policy responses to their own conditions.
		There are benefits to having cultural data to aid administrative practices, but the failure to link that information to the social meanings of the cultural stakeholder communities, perpetuates avoidance of critically engaging the complex dynamics of cultural life.

	Circumcision: Cultural-Legal Analysis
		Usually, cultures assign a thing one of the polar values—it is either pure or polluting, for example—but in some cases, a culture admits a neutral category for things that have neither value: they are neither pure nor polluting.
		As cultural attitudes shift, courts may demand a higher level of informed consent to the operation, and may be more willing to impose liability on physicians or hospitals that circumcise people by surprise or against their (or their parents') wishes.
		The paucity of analysis that one encounters in the Western narrative is not itself an accident: it illustrates the pervasive power of the West's cultural beliefs.

	Dr. Douglas Comer - Analyzing the Cultural Landscape of Beidha
		While this analysis focuses on Beidha, some of the factors identified by this analysis regarding cycles of depopulation and repopulation may have general relevance to site distribution patterns as they have been observed to change from the Natufian through the PPNB in the Petra region and elsewhere in the Levant.
		Cultural landscape analysis is a method for identifying natural and cultural features that are relevant to human use of an area, and to increase understanding of the specific ways in which natural and cultural features are codetermined.
		The analysis depends upon data collected not only through remote sensing, however, but also by archaeological survey and excavation, by examination of current infrastructure to see how this might reflect landscape conditions and be acting to alter landscape use today, and by investigative techniques taken from cultural anthropology.

	Cultural Analysis (research MA) - Onderzoeksmaster Cultural Analysis - Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA)
		The programme is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study and analysis of contemporary culture.
		To this end culture is perceived as encompassing any symbolic and material production and organisation of words, gestures, images, sounds and technologies by which means human beings give meaning, achieve an individual and collective identity, share a world and distinguish themselves from each other.
		The Research MA programme in Cultural Analysis leads to a Master of Arts degree (MA) in Cultural Analysis.

		Unique in the Netherlands, it is also one of the major MA programmes in cultural analysis internationally.
		Culture, therefore, is viewed as a polemical or divisive concept and practice, at least as much as a quest for communality and the provisional stabilisation of shared ideas, values, and goods.

	Online Readings in Psychology and Culture, Unit 2, Chapter 7
		There are many definitions of culture, but none of them suggests an individual has a culture of his or her own.
		Cultures are made up of individuals, and there are reciprocal influence processes between individuals and cultures.
		In other words, there are certain cultures that contain an interlocking set of role relationships built around authority and humility to a greater extent than is found in other cultures.

	Cultural Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		When you perform a cultural analysis, you look closely at a work of popular culture (or several related works) and explain how it reflects or resists the dominant ideology of a particular society and how it might be helping shape or reshape that ideology.
		Part of your analysis might be a review of the work, but your analysis must be more than simply a “thumbs up” or “thumbs down” assessment.
		After drawing the audience into your analysis, provide a forceful, specific and detailed thesis statement that outlines your argument: how does this work reflect the ideology of a particular society and how is it helping shape that ideology.

	Cultivation Analysis Research in Intercultural Contexts
		Cultural imperialism is broadly defined as "'a verifiable process of social influence by which a nation imposes on other countries its set of beliefs, values, knowledge and behavioral norms as well as its overall style of life' (Beltran, 1078b, p.
		Careful analysis will be necessary for intercultural investigations since the central theme of cultivation analysis; that the society as a whole is revealed by and solidified from television programming, comes apart at the seams if the context of the program is clearly outside the context of the viewer.
		These cultures are similar, of course, but the results discussed previously by Hirsch; the failure of Wober to replicate the cultivation effect in Britain in 1978; would not lead the researcher to expect to replicate the American phenomenon of cultivation effects seen by Gerbner, et al.

	Cornell University Sociology : Cultural Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Cultural methods provide the tools to analyze the symbolic-expressive dimensions of social life.
		Although traditionally associated most closely with qualitative methods, cultural analysis incorporates a wide variety of methods from the ethnographic to symbolic analysis to quantitative analyses of attitudes, beliefs, or texts.
		At Cornell, students are introduced to cultural methods through two graduate seminars, "Culture and Agency" and "Qualitative Methods." Several faculty are available to work with students who are interested in incorporating a cultural approach within their work.

	urpo kovala CLCWeb 4.4 (2002)
		Cultural studies is often taken to mean a research orientation emphasising contexts and opposing text-centred analysis, or even textual analysis per se.
		He further proposes that textual analysis and audience reception studies utilise a multiplicity of perspectives and critical methods, when engaging in textual and analysis, and in delineating the multiplicity of subject positions, or perspectives, through which audiences appropriate culture (see Kellner ).
		It is therefore that the notions of text and textual analysis tend to be conceived of in a non-contextual, dicothomical manner.

	Cultural Structures
		A primary reduction is achieved when restricting attention to cultural domains in which implications are unidirectional: once we know that X implies Y, we do not need to ask if Y implies X, and the number of potential questions is reduced by half.
		The example specifically shows that these ideas might be used for the analysis of archival texts in specialties like folklore and literary criticism as well as for the creation of ethnographic models by anthropologists and sociologists.
		ETHNO provides a series analysis in order to test the explanatory model, consisting of implication structure and auxiliary principles, against the recorded sequence of events and allows the analyst to correct problems until model and data fit together consistently.

	A Cross-Cultural Analysis of Websites from High-Context Cultures and Low-Context Cultures
		The research conducted by Hall and Hofstede, which led to the formation of their oft-cited cultural dimensions, is frequently criticized for being outdated (the dimensions were proposed in the 1970s and 1980s, respectively), and especially archaic in their practice of utilizing geographical borders between nation-states as boundaries for cultures.
		The inevitable cultural bias of the author in conducting the analysis should of course be kept in mind, especially in a study such as this one, which involves a high level of interpretation.
		Collectivist cultures tend to emphasize being in good physical shape and time spent with family and friends as their dominant values, whereas the notion of freedom and personal time valued in individualist societies implies relaxation and time spent by oneself.

	Establishing a Cross-Cultural Analysis Component in Business Foreign Language Courses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Although foreign language teachers are accustomed to introducing “culture and civilization” studies at varying levels of sophistication in first-, second-, and third-year language classes, the task of introducing similar materials designed to heighten the cultural awareness of students who intend to work in the international business environment proves more difficult.
		Members of the cultures are not disturbed by an outsider's misunderstanding or misinterpreting facets of the culture at this level.
		They must not make the mistake of assuming that “culture” is restricted to relatively superficial manners, a mistake they often make because of the presentations of culture in their introductory and intermediate German language texts.

	Postmodernism or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism by Fredric Jameson
		I have argued elsewhere that all isolated or discrete cultural analysis always involves a buried or repressed theory of historical periodisation; in any case, the conception of the “genealogy” largely lays to rest traditional theoretical worries about so-called linear history, theories of “stages,” and teleological historiography.
		Yet to argue that culture is today no longer endowed with the relative autonomy it once enjoyed as one level among others in earlier moments of capitalism (let alone in pre-capitalist societies) is not necessarily to imply its disappearance or extinction.
		The distorted and unreflexive attempts of newer cultural production to explore and to express this new space must then also, in their own fashion, be considered as so many approaches to the representation of (a new) reality (to use a more antiquated language).

	Feinberg & Ottenheimer (eds.) / Cultural Analysis of Kinship

		Contributors to The Cultural Analysis of Kinship appraise Schneider's contributions and his place in anthropological history, particularly in the development of anthropological theory.
		Situating Schneider's work and influence in relation to major controversies in the history of anthropology and of kinship studies, they examine his important insights and their limitations, consider where his approach might lead, and offer alternative paradigms.

	Cultural Analysis I
		The Cultural Analysis Core, which consists of two courses (CA I and CA II), is designed to help students understand diverse manifestations of human culture and discuss them in an informed manner.
		The course seeks to assist students in examining their own culture (s) and is not primarily comparative in nature.
		Since it is impossible to examine all of the world’s various cultures in a one-semester course, we will be using a selection of materials which describe, analyze, or imagine cross-cultural encounters during the modern era.

	Cross Cultural Analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		To prepare for an increasingly interconnected world, College students in the Class of 2010 and later are required to take at least one course to develop their ability to understand and interpret the cultures of peoples with histories different from their own.
		Through courses designated as fulfilling the Cross-Cultural Analysis Requirement, students learn methods of analyzing alternative systems of living and making meaning and are exposed to the “local knowledge” of another culture, as made visible in its social practices and institutions.
		The goal is to develop intellectual habits necessary for a lifetime of understanding diverse cultures and societies and to encourage a thoughtful approach that stresses different ways of looking at the world.

		The Plan was developed collaboratively by the Timber Fish and Wildlife Cultural Resources Committee¹, a multi-caucus group including tribes, forest landowners, and state agencies, in response to a Board request to fulfill commitments made in the 1999 Forests and Fish Report (FFR).
		The authors of the FFR recommended that a cultural resources watershed analysis module be created and a plan be written to “address relationships between landowners and affected Tribes and resolution of issues when cultural resource concerns arise in the course of forest practices planning or permitting.” (FFR, Appendix G and Appendix O, O.3)
		It was specifically designed for anyone to use outside the watershed analysis process to identify, protect, and manage cultural resources.

		Just as families and communities have unique looks and feels, organizations have distinct images, internal operations, and methods of doing business that determine who they are and how they are perceived by others.
		All of these factors are the bases for the formation of a "culture" which has the same impact internally that ethnicity or religion has in social groups.
		Organizational culture, then, is the set of beliefs, values, norms and rules (both written and unwritten) through which an organization functions.
