meanings and practices and form and identity and act

simple lifestyle (compare with modern, urban people), who are seen as homogeneous in
their belief systems and practice

Roma
Popular culture: the practices and meaning systems produced by large groups of people
whose norms and tastes are often heterogeneous and change frequently, often in

and saw landscape as the unique product of both cultural and physical processes
