Description
Starosta: We have talked much about culture over these many years. We have equated it with nation-state at some points, and have considered culture as a pool of shared meanings. In each of these instances, culture supposed a natural and willing ownership of ideas, beliefs, and meanings. We assumed it ordinary that someone would willingly participate in a cultural heritage and conditioning. But now we add history. If we consider conditions where a colonial power or a foreign entity imposed a cultural system onto an unwilling community, our earlier assumptions might be falsified. Must the colonized, the conquered, or the enslaved, willingly own another's imposed meanings and beliefs? Could the community be better served by restoring meanings and beliefs of a people remote in place and time?
