Hey there, I could not agree with you more with regards to the branding of culture as either good or bad. I think that if we assume that scholars or elites to decide what culture is. I mean, when the European colonial powers went into the Americas (specially the Spaniards) they decided that much/must of the local culture was barbaric and proceeded to erase it. Furthermore, to a certain extent I got the feeling that Williams would say that popular culture is bad culture, which i am not entirely sure would be true.

I could not post on your blog because I don’t have a live journal account, but I thought you had a great point on the issue.
