GLOBALISATION AND THE NATURE-CULTURE DICHOTOMY:
ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES
Globalisation and the Nature-Culture Dichotomy:
Anthropological Perspectives
1. Understanding the Nature-Culture Dichotomy
The nature-culture dichotomy is a conceptual divide where
nature refers to the physical world and biological processes,
while culture encompasses human beliefs, practices, and social
systems. In Western thought, nature and culture have often
been seen as opposites—nature as untouched and universal,
and culture as human-made and variable.
Anthropologists challenge this rigid separation, arguing that
different societies have unique ways of relating to their
environments. Many Indigenous cosmologies, for example, do
not separate humans from nature, but view them as
interconnected and mutually dependent.
