CULTURE, CULTURES, CULTURAL APPRENTICESHIP

Summary/Abstract: This essay is proposing a brief overview on some significant features of the evolution of the Culture from its syncretic-mystical roots until the post-modern concept of “cultures”, mirrored in the cultural apprenticeship, mainly centred on the musical education in the primitive cultures, passing through the Antique China and Greece, Medieval Japan and Europe until the Modern and Contemporary Epochs. It aims to arouse a discussion on the actual cultural and educational crisis, trying to emphasise possible causes and to highlight the communicational and energetic pattern of the musical apprenticeship as a possible vehicle to overpass the gap splitting the nowadays cultural consumers. The approach is focused mainly on the resemblances and common features revealing some systematized ways to transmit a cultural experience.
