morphology of culture - an area of cultural studies, which studies are typical forms of culture that characterize its internal structure and the structure of the cultural space.
With regard to the latter, this term is understood the area, which is formed by multiple phenomena and forms of culture that are in constant interaction.
Note that the structure of the culture consists of tangible and intangible elements.The collection forms the basis of the first material form.It consists of physical objects that are created by man (artifacts): cars, books, temples, houses and other.
morphology of culture consists of several interconnected elements, the first of which is the spiritual culture.It consists of religion, philosophy, art and mythology.With regard to the characteristics of these forms, they are guided by the kinds of knowledge and values.The spiritual part - a cognitive-value component of all cultural space.
All foundations Cultural Studies differ more or less dependent on each other.They do not exist separately and indirectly.The culture of social relations defines the moral and ethical standards, which should be subject to the society and its actors.These include the moral, legal and political form.The main content is not acting forms and values.Note that the knowledge is only necessary in order to properly design and calculate the principles and rules of conduct for members of society, to analyze the laws of their common life and activities.
As for the third part of the cultural world, it represents the technological sphere, that is, the culture of manufacturing and producing something.There is something just knowledge plays a fundamental role and value of fade into the background.
That relationship, which is characterized by the morphology of culture, manifested in the fact that many of the elements that are part of its forms, exist in a single system in some respects.Thus, consumer culture is characterized by a continuous spiritual interaction (for example, the obsession some kind of art and history), technology (the use of household appliances) and social (relations with neighbors) artifacts.
between cultural phenomena is very difficult to draw a clear line because they are inherently vague and difficult to be determined.
Morphology culture includes values, which can also be divided into the following types:
1. Vital, among which are called life, health, the environment and so on.
2. Social: social status, position, wealth, family, gender relations and so on.
3. Political: freedom of speech, civil peace and the rule of law form.
4. Moral: goodness, love, respect, honor, decency.
5. Worship God, faith, the salvation of souls.
6. Aesthetic: beauty, harmony, ideals.
Previously, there were several forms of culture:
1. People's traditional.
2. Elite.
3. Mass, which originated in ancient times and was manifested in the form of religious processions and competitions.Now it is the result of post-industrial development of the society and became its foundation.The Company keeps pace with market developments.
Once there were media, communications are widespread and infinite possibilities.
Note that the morphological structure of culture has several definitions and meanings.Due to the fact that the system is under constant development, its functional division movably rather than static.Over time there is a reassessment of values, something comes to the fore that, on the contrary, is sent into the corridors of history.
