“Experiencing” culture is what tourists do. Nobody “experiences” culture or collects cultural experiences for Instagram posts where they live. America is the best place to live culture and produce culture. I’ve spent all day today reading Chirbes, taking notes, walking around and thinking about what I read, looking up the references that the writer gives in his book. I’m paid to do pretty much only this until January.
To live and create culture, you need material conditions and a certain way of life. I live in a small American college town. Everything closes by 10 p.m. There is nothing to distract me from culture.
