| Research Abstract |
We have been accustomed to the binary way of thinking that “the advanced and civilized West and savage and uncivilized Africa.” However, when we consider the transatlantic culture including Europe, Africa, and Americas, from the viewpoint of what I call a “figural element” of culture, such binary opposition collapses. For linguistic rhetoric and physical mimicry often found in African and Caribbean culture has something in common with the leading-edge transatlantic and global culture in the sense that they share “figural elements.” Thus the achievement of this study is to have demonstrated a new way of seeing the transatlantic culture.
