.Resumen
El tema central de esta conferencia trata sobre la permanencia del significado de cultura como concepto antropológico y del de su permanencia entre los pueblos que estudian los antropólogos. Cuestiona el rechazo que el funcionalismo superficial hace de la afirmación de la diferencia cultural de los pueblos –la llamada invención de la tradición– y la vigencia de tales distinciones –la inventiva de la tradición–. Sostiene, además, que precursores como Boas, Linton, etcétera, lejos de ser responsables de las críticas contemporáneas sobre su trabajo, aportaron ideas acerca de la cultura que aún son pertinentes para la comprensión de las formas y procesos culturales actuales. La diferencia es que, en aquel entonces, ellos tuvieron una ventaja sobre la mayoría de nosotros: no tuvieron el temor paralizante de la discusión posestructuralista.
