	On the Arts: What the market will allow: high culture and the bottom line
		Cultural products, as their producers know quite well, tend to fare better with a public whose expectations are fulfilled, not challenged.
		Cultural analyst John Seabrook recently described this new mainstream/nonmainstream binary as "no-brow," a buzz that increases in volume as a cultural product, event, personality or trend makes its move from what Seabrook calls the "small grid" to the "big grid" of mass consumption.

	Is Pop Culture Either? by Ken Myers
		Cultural institutions, traditions, and artifacts developed as means of encouraging members of a society to respect its taboos, to obey its laws, and to become the sort of person whose character served the common good by conforming to a view of the good that the society held in common.
		Cultures were also deliberately intergenerational; cultural artifacts were ways of handing down to the coming generation the commitments and beliefs of the passing generation.
		Culture is not a legacy that is transmitted and received, it is a commodity that is consumed.

		High culture is not much concerned with how people make use of great works of art.
		What we know of as high culture and the great masterpieces of art are really just the preferred culture of a particular minority group within society —; but a minority with the power to enforce its taste preferences, to impose its own values and standards and interests upon others.
		However, the multicultural critique of the exclusionary and biased nature of the canons of high culture as we have known them rarely challenges the more fundamental basis of the canon, the belief that value resides in objects rather than in their uses.

	High/Low: Culture, Class, Technology
		Low culture is characterized as the "popular" or unofficial culture—that which society’s arbiters of taste despise, cultural pages of newspapers ignore and senators deign to debate.
		However, this culture overwhelms quantitatively the high culture, the "serious" culture which textbooks and historical presentations uphold as our "cultural heritage." High culture receives money from national departments of cultural affairs; its originators sit in academies and societies and are awarded with stipends and Nobel Prizes.
		Although a minority, high culture is important, as it is associated with the group that by its cultural position wields power over official taste.

		For their part, younger smokers insist that the environment surrounding the use of marijuana is now healthier than it used to be, since the drug has been demystified and desanctified to the point where today it is almost free from the old attitudes of fear and paranoia.

	Ideas - Robert Hughes - International Society for the Performing Arts

	The Social Affairs Unit - Web Review: Theodore Dalrymple on why the Baroque is superior to Rock: high culture is no ...
		One of the reasons, I suspect, that defenders and advocates of high culture have been diffident about their claims, and reluctant to resist the relentless advance of a debased popular culture, is the historical fact that the Nazis enthusiastically supported at least some aspects of it.
		And once the advocates of high culture have lost confidence not so much in its superiority over low culture, but in their ability to argue for it, the entire field is left wide open to the lowest of low culture to occupy.
		Even if high culture is not by itself a sufficient bulwark against ideological barbarism (and, of course, the Nazis were in many respects aesthetic barbarians too), there is no reason to go over to other forms of barbarism.
