Abstract
The twentieth century has come to witness the growth of a global ecumene of culture, an organization of diversity structured by center‐periphery relationships. In this article two prominent perspectives toward culture in the world system are inspected, and another view is suggested which gives greater emphasis to the relationship between transnational cultural flows and continued cultural creativity at the periphery.Keywords
