Re: [xmca] Hey you. . .

I loved the definition of consciousness as an activity system.

but am not sure about the distinction between the culture and society - Andy's definition of each seems to be transferable to the other. For example:
'society evolves through conquest, trade, migration of peoples, and class struggles, shaped by technical innovation, concentration of capital, religion, and so on; the culture created by people in the various historical forms of their association is accumulated and passed on, modified or lost in its own specific ways.' (p 256)
The definition of society, I think, could equally apply to culture, just consider mass culture and how it evolves through conquest, trade, migration of ideas, and class struggles, shaped by technical innovation, concentration of capital, religion, and so on.

Cheers, Geoff
