Writing across cultures: ‘culture’ in second language writing studies
2014
For the past 50 years, culture has been one of the most contested concepts in Western academia.
This is due in part to: (1) the notorious difficulty of defining the term (Williams 1983); and
(2) its use as a causal explanation of individual behaviour. But certainly the biggest source of
‘culture trouble’ over the past half-century has been the development of anti-foundationalist,
neo-Marxist, and postcolonial ‘critical’ philosophies, and their problematizing of the standard
macro-variables of social science, including culture.
