At the Gwartney Institute, we're very fancy.  Still, we wanted to know: What exactly constitutes high art?  Is there any substantial difference between the avant-garde and what the rest of us enjoy? Peter walks the Gwartney team through an interesting article purporting to answer this very question. Along the way they touch on haute cuisine, cinema, centerfolds, and punk rock.

Sean and Rax King of Low Culture Boil talk about Baz Luhrmann's 2022 masterpiece Elvis and suggest that Baz Luhrmann should in fact be tasked with directing the biopics of every single notable person until he dies from exhaustion.

Happy birthday, Curtis! The Dorks start the podcast recapping the Seahawks game in New Orleans. They continue to be impressed with Geno Smith's Pro Bowl level play and compliment the team on at least being entertaining to watch. They discuss the jubilation of a 9th inning go ahead run to win to sweep Toronto in the Wild Card round contrasted with the depths of despair when they lose a game by a walk off home run by Houston. Curtis talks about his experience being on the Seahawks documentary series "The Sound" and the Dorks discuss the importance of culture on a team. Finally, the Dorks rattle off a rapid fire dorking to finish the pod. Go M's. Go Hawks. Embrace the Chaos!

Wherever you stand on revealing attire, all bets are off on Hallows Eve. The slutty costume is a staple for many an upstanding citizen, but for many years it was an unnamed phenomenon. When and how did costumer become openly self-aware? Was it Halloween parades, ABC parties, the movie Mean Girls? Or maybe the large-scale commodification of the holiday helped usher in the trend? The three Low Culture detectives are on the case. Become a trash patron! www.patreon.com/lowcultureboil

In this episode, Virgil and his previous guests Danny and Matt, discuss the concepts of High and Low culture. This episode will focus on discussing why these cultural forces and cultural divisions are important. Through these discussions, we can learn more about our culture, which gives us a more nuanced view of our society. High culture is a collection of cultural products, mainly in the arts, held in the highest esteem by a culture. Low culture is a collection of cultural products not held in the highest esteem by a culture. High culture is the culture of the elites within a society. Low culture is connected to popular/mass culture and is the culture of the everyman. Through this discussion, we hope to explore better these two cultures and how they interface with society and where or not these divisions have disappeared over time.

Raelynn will walk you through the elements of the cultural divide and what separates high and low.

Historically, mass-produced media is monickered as “low culture,” while fine art is “high.” Where does this dichotomy come from, how are comics treated in this binary, and how can educators take advantage of it? In this episode we dissect the history of accessible media and how comics in the classroom can benefit.

Star Trek and Epic Heroes.

 “Sokath, his eyes uncovered!” When Captain Jean-Luc Picard finally cracked the Tamarian language, he countered “Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra” with an ancient myth of his own: the Epic of Gilgamesh. One of the earliest known works of literature, this deeply strange but profoundly beautiful Mesopotamian poem, predating the Old Testament by more than a thousand years, offers an unlikely bridge between two very different spacefaring cultures. In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Clara Cook to discuss Star Trek’s engagement with epic narratives, focusing on the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Old English poem Beowulf, as played out in TNG’s “Darmok” and Voyager’s “Heroes and Demons.” Do Starfleet’s brave and brilliant officers share a common heritage with the epic heroes of yore? And to what extent can a twenty-fourth-century reader understand a poem written in a culture so alien from their own? Chapters  Intro (00:00:00)   Epic of Gilgamesh and “Darmok” (00:03:31)   Beowulf and “Heroes and Demons” (00:31:46)   Heroic Qualities and Epic Tropes (00:43:16)   Monsters and Realism (01:07:02)   High and Low Culture (01:24:34)   Final Thoughts (01:36:59) Host Duncan Barrett Guest
