GRT17 Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 Looking at some of the recent topics they appear to have nothing at all to do with French Culture or France in particular. "Chat up lines" and "Whatever Happened to....." and so on, just looking back to "the good old days". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amelie Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 French culture is a diverse subject, just like what defines art, and then look at the Turner prize! I have done a few postings on Films, and many others have covered films and music, I think culture is what ever you think it is, there was even a theme on what defines French culture, is it just art, films, books, music or is there more? I, for one think it covers all of the above, and anything that people find is cultural to France for them.loveAmelie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Smith Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Surely, French culture is everything which goes to make up the French way of life/life style/traditions etc. etc. etc? Culture isn't just books, theatre, art etc. Or at least that's what i've always thought.Regards,Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie_and_Dick Posted November 17, 2003 Share Posted November 17, 2003 Could we agree that there is 'culture' - what a sociologist would mean, the way of life of the people, and 'Culture' - the stuff that costs a lot of money and often involves people realising that they are about to marry/kill their long-lost twin or gets hung on walls?They are two different things, yet in these threads they are mercilessly entwined...Dick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard-R Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 Culture is the best of NOW. Not Opera, Homer or Ovid. The past as Culture is purely a Victorian concept.Richard R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
