Michael,
Culture has many definitions (including that stuff growing in a petri
dish), but I think the Websterian ones he's after are:
development, improvement, or refinement of the mind, emotions, interest,
manners, taste, etc. and
the ideas, customs, skills, arts, etc., of a given people in a given
place or time.
To that extent, I doubt anyone has compiled an analysis of how the
ability to churn out more stuff faster has affected the culture of any one
society, such as that in the wealthy industrial countries, or how that has, in
turn, affected the cultures of other peoples around the world. Or how RP
has affected corporate culture and the expectation, in some cases, that we
can churn out more stuff faster or, in other cases, better products in the
same time. Or how RP artists in one culture may gradually be extending
their reach to other cultures.
I did not get the time to visit the on-line conference conversation on RP
and art, but perhaps someone who did can reconstruct any cultural
influences that were discussed there.
