The term "subculture" seems to imply
a hierarchy, a splinter group contained
within a larger, primary group that
deserves the name "culture".
Isn't it likely that
subcultures overlap? And indeed, don't
cultures in general
An Asian Buddhist and an overlap?
American WASP may both
be science fiction fans. A family of Germans
raised in Moscow:
what is their culture?
Does each individual
have a culture of
their own?
Instead we think of
cultures as being
primary, atomistic --
Unlike the phylogeny of species, so the German family in
cultural categories can and do Moscow is an odd case:
mate with each other... a group of individuals
with a foot in two cultures.
And acquired characteristics
are definitely transmitted. Or with two cultures
inside of them?
