Лия писала сочинение в русской школе по мещанству в произведениях гоголя
- лия, так что же это - мещанство?
- нуу-у-у, middle class...

ну формально так примерно и есть - low middle class
однако за отчетный период мещанство обросло negative connotation
так как описать мещанство in english?

kitch?

не особенно политкорректный термин.
как слово «чурка».
хотя на мой взгляд самый близкий в этом смысле.

"Philistinism is a derogatory term used to describe a particular attitude or set of values. A person called a Philistine (in the relevant sense), is said to despise or undervalue art, beauty, intellectual content, and/or spiritual values. Philistines are also said to be materialistic, to favor conventional social values unthinkingly, and to favour forms of art that have a cheap and easy appeal (e.g. kitsch)."
