While I thought I was understanding Turner's concept of cultural studies, his example with Oliver North really helped me understand its depth and meaning. Before reading this text, I would have looked at the picture of Oliver and his wife and not have thought twice about the meaning and symbolism that is jumping out at me. Turner did a really good job explaining in detail how little things in the picture tell a story, such as how his wife shows her support for him by standing close to his side. This also jumped out at me especially since I am doing my project on Sherlock's Holmes' impact on London culture. Being a detective, Sherlock had to pay extra special attention to such small details in order to get his next lead in cracking the case. In the short stories, he gains important information from small things that most people overlook. It is really interesting to me how much we can learn from just looking at a picture, and noticing all the small details. I am looking forward to learning more about this topic and am going to try and practice what I have learned so far.
