The ways of being and understanding of culture, memory and remembering are changeable, as are their mutual references. Culture can be an object of remembering as well as a remembering subject. It can be understood as a resource or as a process. If we understand culture as a remembered (“commemorated”) resource, a question arises what objects fill it. The objects are value-focused wholes composed of things, places, figures and events. If we understand culture as the process of remembering, we can distinguish activities that sustain (make manifest) remembering and produce (activate) remembering. The article ends with some remarks on “ruminating” understood as professional or amateur broadening of the knowledge of the past as well as education and promotion of this knowledge. Ruminating is treated here as an internal cultural process.

As the humanities are increasingly turning to nature, things, posthumanism and the Anthropo­cene, fields considered typically as separate, or even contradictory, are being explored from perspec­tives that combine a number of different academic disciplines. However, there has been less interest in the territories stretching between culture and economy, let alone in approaching economic and cultural processes as closely interrelated. This is probably because humanistic turns have one thing in common: the rejection of anthropocentrism. On the other hand, it is difficult to consider culture and economy without acknowledging the pivotal role of agency, subjectification and resource avail­ability of human subjects. The ambition of the paper is to demonstrate that an approach that does this enables a new, different, more in-depth perspective on culture and economy. The author analyses a number of cases where humanities-derived categories are used to describe economic processes, as well as to address the process of creating products based on cultural resour­ces, eminently exemplified by experience economy.

The term value is commonly used to describe key economic processes and refers to objects, people, economy, and economics. Among the many issues relevant to the relationship of culture and economy the use of the term value in reference to the object — especially in the context of utility value and exchange value — is of particular interest. In cultural studies, a mark-to-market utility is combined with existential (i.e.biological and psychological) requirements and civilizational advance, which stand in opposition to culture. The author indicates, however, that the sources of the utility of merchandise purchased on a daily basis are manifold and are nowadays primarily related to cultural preferences. As a consequence, the possibility of replacing the current economic model with a more sustainable one is largely blocked by the hidden hand of culture.
