The conviction that we all have, possess or inhabit a discrete
culture, and have done so for centuries, is one of the more
dominant default assumptions of our contemporary
politico-intellectual moment. However, the concept of culture as a
signifier of subjectivity only entered the modern Anglo-U.S.
episteme in the late nineteenth century. Culture and Eurocentrism
seeks to account for the term's relatively recent emergence and
movement through the episteme, networked with many other concepts -
nature, race, society, imagination, savage, and civilization- at
the confluence of several disciplines. Culture, it contends,
doesn't describe difference but produces it, hierarchically. In so
doing, it seeks to recharge postcoloniality, the critique of
eurocentrism.
