	Urban cultures
		Urban scholarship has steadily progressed toward a conception of cities and urban cultures that is free of ethnocentrism, with broad cross-cultural and historical validity.
		Past urban cultures that did not readily fit the Sjoberg conception, such as the autocephalous (self-governing) cities of early modern Europe, were disposed of as temporary and unusual variants of his preindustrial type rather than important varieties of urban culture.
		Studying the cultural roles of cities must include not only the cultural beliefs and practices that emanate from cities but also the cultural forms that develop within the city as a result of the impact of the urban culture on it.

	Gallet-Blanchard/Martinet: Hypermedia and Urban Culture
		Historical studies of urban culture in recent years have stressed the complexities of townscape perception, favouring an interdisciplinary approach in which semiotics, including rhetoric and image analysis, are applied to cultural geography, an approach indebted to the ›linguistic turn‹ now followed by the ›visual turn‹.
		Recent developments in urban studies have been based on transdisciplinarity, not only in the diversity of the documents which usually belong to several disciplines, but also in an integration of the approaches, which allow the documents of social history to be contextualised and studied at different levels.
		Studies of urban culture have analysed the experience of space and place; they have stressed the differentiated geographies and relationships between spaces, the combinations of layered or fragmented spaces and homogeneous integration through a rational grid.

	articles : Postmodernism in Urban America : Youth Specialties
		And I realize that urban culture is more multiethnic than the African-American ethnic group and more multicultural than hip-hop, just as the broader culture we live in is larger than that part of culture which fits the postmodern descriptors.
		The overall point is to connect postmodernism to urban culture in order to broaden and diversify the discussions I've witnessed concerning culture, Christianity, and the church.
		The urban church can no longer afford to paint culture as the enemy, but instead must raise up its own emerging leaders willing to pioneer a movement that'll reach urban young people within their culture.

	Culture Counts in Communities: A Framework for Measurement
		ACIP is built on the premise that inclusion of arts, culture, and creativity in quality of life measures is more meaningful when it relies on the collaborative efforts of the wide spectrum of people involved in the arts and in community building.
		The ideal cultural inventory envisioned by ACIP would be web-based, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, including a wide variety of stakeholders, and taking full advantage of the Web's searchable interactive digital capabilities, such as linking graphics, audio, and video.
		The fundamental challenge here is that the very broadness of ACIP's arts definition—combined with the fact that arts, culture, and creativity are operating in an environment in which many other factors are operating simultaneously—vastly complicates the task of pinpointing the contribution of arts-related activities to the overall impacts observed.

	The Daily Newspaper and Urban Popular Culture
		It occurred in all of the major urban industrial centers, and the leaders of this assault were the new mass-circulation daily newspapers of that period.
		Areas of popular culture that were beyond the direct control of the daily newspaper, such as the theater or sporting events, nevertheless were dependent upon the press for economic survival.
		Against such formidable power, it is not surprising that the indigenous popular culture of America and the ethnic traditions of its immigrants could survive only in subcultures or in areas that the new culture judged to be "backward" or "undeveloped," and, therefore, unprofitable for penetration by mass media.

		Key areas of engagement include the significance of consumer culture and processes of consumption to the changing nature and experience of urban life, and the practices of co-operation and conflict shaping the forms, meanings and uses of cities.
		Understandings of the historical development of urban space and its contested nature in contemporary cultures form central components of our approach, which explores the ways in which meanings are embedded in cities and city-spaces, their manifestation in the urban environment, and their mediation by individuals, communities and social movements, and through cultural forms and practices.
		Exploring the impress of consumption and consumerist lifestyles on the city and on urban life is another key aspect of the cluster's research agenda.

		It is a culture where to be a "real man" you know how to drink (or take drugs), how to swear, how to fight into submission men who are "different" to you, and how to dominate women.
		It is a culture where acting out violence is a rite of passage, it is how boys become men and individuals join the group.
		It is a culture of bullying, where the line between high spirits and abusive behaviour is blurred and the line between sex and rape is often non-existent.

	articles : Multiethnic and Urban Influence on Today's Youth Culture : Youth Specialties
		Now urban, hip-hop, and fl youth culture often has an influence on the whole youth culture—white teens far from the inner-city streets are influenced by the slang, fashion, and music of the ’hood.
		Though kids today are being influenced by a fl, hip-hop, multiethnic, and urban world, they too often walk into homogenous youth groups that are led by leaders who, in general, don’t seem to be paying attention to the coming multicultural youth revolution and the influence it’s already having on their students.
		Within the youth culture there’s a growing multiracial population that promises to tear down walls of race and culture that have separated past generations.

	Interpreting urban screens
		Urban screens are made possible when the interests of those who control the exhibition space, the technology, the potential content streams and the potential revenue streams converge.
		Many of the ‘cultural’ initiatives we heard about during the conference appeared to reassert this model, that is, the tendency towards displaying ‘culture’ as if it were separate from the conditions of its reproduction, and the acceptance of a marginal position.
		At least, this appeared to be the basis for the alliances between cultural workers and corporate sponsors, technology providers and media- or advertising agencies in developing cultural programmes for urban screens.[4] At most, culture provides a utopian affirmation of the power relations which govern public- and media space.

	The Online Journal of Urban Youth Culture
		Hip-Hop was initially born of the ability of those early practitioners of rap music, DJ wizardry and street-corner fashion creation to overcome their inability to gain acceptance and recognition by the established music, fashion and entertainment industries.
		Further galvanizing the fledgling culture was the lack of acceptance by adult culture, who refused to recognize these newly emerging forms of expression as legitimate.
		From the “bling-bling” of such Hip-Hop artists as 50 Cent, to the gritty southern Nappy Roots, from the macabre theater of the Insane Clown Posse, to the pimpish styling of Snoop Dogg, the themes are as broad and conflicted as the frequent disagreements and altercations that arise between various camps in Hip-Hop.
