Calm by Fahmi M.

"In essence, this is a problem of cultural relativism, although in an extremely prescribed sense. Sound symbols are not independent, self-sufficient, absolute entities, but rather derive their meaning from the complex cultural network and context of which they are a part; severed from that context, a given symbol loses its power, or is charged with new and changed meaning due to its altered role in a different cultural web.

As Herskovits famously explains: “Judgements are based on experience, and experience is interpreted by each individual in terms of his own enculturation... Is reality, then, not defined and redefined by the evervaried symbolisms of the innumerable languages of mankind?” (Herskovits 1948: 64).

We will concern ourselves here only with a relatively narrow view on cultural relativism; not with broader questions of values and moral codes, but only with the encultured vocabulary of symbols, imagery, signs, and meanings which vary and fluctuate between and across cultures. While these exist and take on their full meaning only within the larger cultural framework of values and world-view, we will limit our consideration here to these smaller-scale matters of symbol and signification."
