<span><span>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. </span><span style=&quote;font-style:italic;&quote;>Culture and Eurocentrism</span><span> seeks to account for the term&rsquo;s relatively recent emergence and movement through the episteme, networked with many other concepts &ndash; nature, race, society, imagination, savage, and civilization&ndash; at the confluence of several disciplines. Culture, it contends, doesn&rsquo;t describe difference but produces it, hierarchically. In so doing, it seeks to recharge postcoloniality, the critique of eurocentrism.</span></span>
