Cultural Expressions

Famous quotes containing the words cultural and/or expressions:

    If we can learn ... to look at the ways in which various groups appropriate and use the mass-produced art of our culture ... we may well begin to understand that although the ideological power of contemporary cultural forms is enormous, indeed sometimes even frightening, that power is not yet all-pervasive, totally vigilant, or complete.
    Janice A. Radway (b. 1949)

    Let it be signified to me through any channel ... that the possession of the Floridas would be desirable to the United States, and in sixty days it will be accomplished.
    ...penned in the language of truth, and divested of those expressions of servility which would persuade his majesty that we are asking favors and not rights.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
