Sinossi

Brazilian anthropologist Manuela Carneiro da Cunha examines here the complex meaning&;and anthropological implications&;of the word &;culture&; for indigenous peoples. Caneiro da Cunha explores the contradictions inherent in the interface between Western and traditional understandings of knowledge and intellectual property rights. 

Distinguishing culture from &;culture,&; the latter being a reflexive awareness of one&;s culture, Carneiro da Cunha then poses questions such as: What are the cognitive and pragmatic consequences when &;culture&; and culture coexist? She shows how the word &;culture,&; as used in the anthropological sense, is employed by indigenous people to distinguish the different interpretations and avoid contradictions. &;Culture&; and Culture offers a concise and innovative anthropological study of a crucial issue faced by indigenous peoples the world over.
