ABSTRACT: In recent years postcolonial discussions have contributed
not only to the revision of ideas about the nature of culture,
but they have also made clear that the traditional geographical
locations of cultures are no longer sustainable. Thus the idea
of a purely organic, self-regenerating culture has given way to
the view that cultures have always been mixed, and this will become
clearer and clearer in the future. Concepts such as hybridization
and bastardization are enjoying the highest popularity. Cultures
are not thought of in terms of specific places but are localized
in a completely different way. These new beginnings will be examined
in this section, and examples of the new locations will be presented
for discussion.
