Culture
Article Abstract:
Culture is believed as a key term in anthropology, a critical term that needs to be worked through powerful tropes that lead to issues in politics, interpretation, translation, stereotype and racism. A study evaluates street culture and culture as (development) resource, and assesses culture as souvenirs, trinkets and the ephemera of tourism as a modern commodity fetish.
