| Summary: | Tliis paper intends basically to present the theoretical
discussion over the category "Cultural Fronts" as
an interpretative tool for the various struggle processes
in order to obtain a more legitimate definition of the
meaning of certain topics of everyday life.
In the first place, the discussion will reach the four
big issues where the Cultural Fronts are located:
a) T^e social construction of the meaning.
b) Hegemony and Cultural Power social constitution.
c) The struggle for cultural legitimity.
d) The "trans-class" cultural elements and everyday
life.
Different sociological concepts will be shown,
according to three possible levels of cultural analysis, in
order to locate the place and the scale where the new
category may be used.
After tfie presentation and the discussion of the
background and the categorical elements, a characterization
of the Cultural Fronts is made, whithin the polisemic and the semantical impUcation of its composition.
They are located both as strugle spaces or fronts,
and simultaneously, as.boundries or limits for an specific
contact between cultural conceptions and practices
of different groups and classes that co-exist in the same
society. |
