Lооking bаck оver the whole course, you cаn sort the аuthors you read into two camps. Some treat culture as something people actively live, improvise, and remake as they go. Others treat it as a structure, a set of categories or dispositions, that shapes people before they ever act. A foundational figure in the study of culture, whose work you read late in the course, argued that this very split has divided the field for decades. Name that scholar, and lay out the divide as he framed it. Then take a position: is it a real divide that forces a choice, or can a strong account of culture hold both sides together? Defend your answer by placing specific authors from across the semester, some early, some late, on each side, and showing what each camp explains that the other cannot.
