having veered so close to the idea of ethnicity the idea of naturalized group identity it is important to be clear about the relation between culture and group identity that i seek to articulate. culture, unmarked, can continue to be used to refer to the plethora of differences that characterize the world today, differences at various levels, with various valences, and with greater and lesser degrees of social consequence. i propose, however,that we restrict the term culture as a marked term to the subset of these differences that has been mobilized to articulate the boundary of difference. As a boundary-maintenance question, culture then becomes a matter of group identity as constituted by some differences among others.
but is this not a way of simply equating ethnicity and culture? yes and no. yes, because in this usage culture would not stress simply the possession of certain attributes (material, linguistic, or territorial) but the consciousness of these attributes and their naturalization as essential to group identity
