What do we mean by the word ‘culture’?
Simon Walker with some thoughts on intercultural dialogues…
A few years ago I attended IETM, a 4 day informal European theatre meeting in Belgrade. While listening to several introductory speeches by chairpersons, officials & directors of organisations, I made a list of the different contexts the word ‘culture’ was used in, then decided to write about this experience.
The following cultural interpretations may lead to a cultural discovery of cultural and historical horizons within a common cultural arena. The cultural consequences which began before cultural foundations were in place, led to cross cultural intercultural projects without thought, so cultural framework needed some serious cultural reconstruction to prevent the cultural marginalisation of the brave new cultural systems that were moving fast and full of cultural expression.
During the cultural conference, amidst the cultural confusion, began the cultural questioning. The cultural managers found themselves in a cultural situation that meant they had to put aside their cultural barriers and their thoughts of cultural importance. Cultural sources expressed themselves with cultural objectivity and made the cultural subtleties of the cultural conversation culturally complex.
To provoke further cultural crises, the cultural secretary called on the cultural consultants to bring the culturally sensitive cultural responses back to their cultural roots. Without knowing about the cultural decentralisation of cultural systems, all cultural fulfillment was met with cultural needs designed to set cultural limitations on cultural potential.
By now this had caused a cultural block in order to culturally manipulate cultural explanations of cultural ethics. The cultural scene had been replaced by the cultural professionals so a need for cultural regeneration was called for. Now the cultural field had become culturally open, cultural organisations had cultural access to cultural values and cultural ideologies, which enabled cultural co-operations.
Once the cultural operation had begun, billions of cultural networks flourished out in the cultural space, creating a culturally diverse mainstream. The cultural ministers were culturally content but confirmed to develop cultural strategies as a way of getting cultural revenge. Cultural tensions arose and before long cultural respect had become culturally challenging. Cultural knowledge needed a new cultural goal, the cultural rules had been re-written without the cultural consultation
All that was left was a cultural mission without a cultural centre or a cultural conclusion.
