Sens et usages de la culture

Du mot et de la chose

Irina Mavrodin

Pages 5–6

Abstract

The article tries to explain what the contemporary meaning of « culture » is by comparing this notion to « civilization ». In many contexts, the use of the word « culture » coincides with that of the word « civilization », and includes all human mentalities and behaviors. Thanks to this new way of using the word concept of culture, resemblance can better be understood in the context of difference. So, culture is placed in connection with globalization, which, in its turn, asks questions about the notion of value and shifts the problematic of centre towards the periphery.

Keywords —

culture(s) · civilization(s) · mentalities · resemblance and difference · problematic of value
