habits acquired by man as a member of
society.”

What is culture?
文化是什么?
,Culture consists of patterns,explicit and
implicit,of and for behaviour acquired and
transmitted by symbols; the essential core
of culture consists of traditional (I.e,
historically derived and selected) ideas and
especially their attached values; culture
systems may,on the one had be considered
as products of action,and on the other as
conditioning elements of further action.”
(Kroeber and Kluckholm 1952)
文化是由通过符号获得并传播的外在
的或内隐的行为模式构成;文化的核
心是由传统的(也就是历史地产生和
选择的)观念,特别是附着其上的价
值构成;文化系统在一方面可能被认
为是行为的产物,而在另一方面则被
认为是进一步行动的条件。
——克劳博,克拉克宏,1952
‘ Culture is an integrated system of beliefs
(about God,reality,ultimate meaning)
of values (what is true,good,beautiful,
normative)
of customs (how to behave,relate to others,
talk,pray,dress,work,play,trade,farm,eat),
of institutions which express these beliefs,
values and customs (government,law courts,
temples,churches,family,schools,hospitals,
factories,shops,unions,clubs etc)
which binds a society together and gives it
a sense of identity,dignity,security and
continuity.’
Lausanne Convention (1974)
文化是一个由 信仰 (关于神、实在、终极意
义),价值观 (什么是真、善、美,什么是规范)、
习俗 (如何行为,如何与人交往、以及说话、祷告、
服饰、工作、娱乐、贸易、农耕、饮食等)以及表
达这些信仰、价值观、习俗的 制度 (政府、法庭、
寺庙、教会、家庭、学校、医院、工厂、商店、团
体、俱乐部等)整合起来的系统,这个系统将社会
整合起来并赋予它关于身份、尊严、安全以及延续
性的意义和理性。
洛桑会议( 1974)
,everything that people
have,think and do as
members of a society.”
(Ferraro 2001)
,作为一个社会的成员的人的所
拥有、所思考和所做的一切。”
