-> Cultural knowledge of the “ deep play “ of meanings or “ thick description “ that

ethnographer Clifford Geerez identified in his studies of the Balinese .

-> Devid Richter describes cultural studies as “ about whatever is happening at the movement ,

about body of text created in the past ”

-> ‘Happening’ , topics , generally speaking , is the mass media , post

modern culture , dominate culture , lives , in habitants or

topics .

-> Hamlet or Huckleberry Finn were written they were not

intended for elite discussions in English class room but popular

consumption .-> Marxist TERRY Eagleton has

“ about imperishable value .S
