Overview
Imagine if we were suddenly to dispense with the word `culture' and all its derivatives. Politicians could no longer describe modest reforms as cultural revolutions, business people would have to abandon their self-serving references to the distinctive culture of IBM and Hewlett-Packard, and booksellers would have to rip out the thousands of feet of shelf space they devote to cultural studies. It's a development that might have pleased Raymond Williams, who once bitterly declared: `I don't know how many times I've wished that I'd never heard the damned word.' But it would probably afford even more satisfaction to anthropologist, Adam Kuper, whose recent book, Culture: An Anthropologists' Account (Harvard University Press), was devoted entirely to the ubiquitous term.
