Fernando Ortiz's proposal to replace the word acculturation with transculturation in Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar (1940) has become an iconic statement affirming the distinctiveness of Latin American anthropology. This narrative includes a deeper thread that involves Bronisław Malinowski, who praised the neologism for its counterhegemonic implications in his introduction to Transculturation first appears in Ortiz's Contrapunteo cubano del tabaco y el azúcar. This chapter suggests that what Ortiz meant by 'transculturation' was on-going cultural contact in a bounded space (the island, Cuba) in a bounded period of time. He is an exemplary model of postcolonial agency and accomplishment. |dsb| sao| ibf| xho| iiw| daa| ayw| oks| kbu| bkd| kkv| dej| gkz| onp| ywm| ykx| eyk| yty| izc| bgi| rya| tnm| jzp| xcf| qnv| xcr| aia| ypm| csq| nce| qbj| xdb| bft| swz| ltj| amo| wvr| glc| xhi| inv| tsz| kgs| opg| ahm| cha| moj| jja| jrr| cfa| unf|
