ABSTRACT
The salient point contained in this case study is an elaboration of the predominant divergence in the conceptualization of culture that has run throughout this text, namely the split between the notions of culture as being (a) descriptive of the whole pattern of representations of a recognizable and coherent group of people, and (b) referential of the specialized and self-selected excellence of the creative potential of a recognizable and coherent group of people. Here I wish to show a real, but exaggerated, instance of the eliding and thus confusing of the difference between these two conceptualizations, for reasons that are complexes of the moral, the political, and also of incoherent thinking; all of which instance the necessity of clarity in realizing our shared problematic – ‘culture’.
