          Abstract

          Este artigo (publicado em duas partes) examina e refuta as críticas ao conceito de cultura. A identificação pós-modernista da "cultura" com o colonialismo e o imperialismo é um diagnóstico falso: o contexto histórico-ideológico de gestação da idéia de cultura, marcado pela reação ao universalismo iluminista, aponta na direção oposta. Por sua vez, as ansiedades sobre o fim iminente da variedade cultural humana se mostram sem objeto: a globalização e outras peripécias capitalistas, longe de impor uma hegemonia monótona sobre o planeta, têm gerado uma diversidade de formas e conteúdos culturais historicamente sem precedentes

          Translated abstract

          This article (published in two parts) examines and refutes critiques of the concept of culture. The post-modernist identification of "culture" with colonialism and imperialism is a false diagnosis: marked by its reaction to Enlightenment universalism, the historico-idelogical context within which the idea of culture took shape indicates the opposite. In turn, anxieties over the imminent end of human cultural variety are revealed to be foundless: globalisation and others capitalist phenomena, far from imposing a monotonous hegemony on the planet, have generated a historically unprecedent diversity of cultural forms and contents.
