Faisant appel a la litterature d'etudes culturelles, cet article suggere que la condition de post-modernite cree de nouveaux challenges pour le domaine d'anthropologie culturelle qui vont au dela du probleme pourtant significatif de la representation ethnographique. Explorant le projet post-moderniste comme l'un de ceux qui impliquent une approche particuliere des phenomenes culturels dans une economie globale, l'article pousse les anthropologues a reconcevoir le concept de culture et a explorer les politiques culturelles de la vie quotidienne dans le contexte d'une representation globale du capitalisme.
