Asian cultures?

In: Asian studies review: journal of the Asian Studies Association of Australia, Band 15, Heft 2, S. 43-50

Abstract

After discussing anthropology's concept of "culture", the author points out that in Asia as elsewhere in the contemporary world, an essentialist appeal to primordial roots and common cultural heritage serves to mobilise tremendous energies. He attempts a brief characterisation of Bali in cultural terms. (DÜI-Sen)
