Abstract
- The article presents a paper on culture and cultural analysis as experimental systems. The growth of cultural analysis is traced from the start of modern anthropology to the present. It is argued that culture is relational rather than variable, and consists of central anthropological forms of knowledge which ground the self-understanding of humans. The challenge posed by cultural analysis, it is proposed, is to develop mediation and translation tools for helping resolve cultural differences.
