ABSTRACT
Onsidering culture as it is practised, not in what is most valued by official representation or economic politics, but in what upholds it and organizes it, three priorities stand out: orality, operations, and the ordinary. All three of them come back to us through the detour of a supposed foreign scene, popular culture, which has benefited from numerous studies of oral traditions, practical creativity, and the actions of everyday life. One more step is required to break down this fictive barrier and recognize that in truth it concerns our culture, without our being aware of it (de Certeau et al. 1998, 251).
