”There are two questions concerning our culture that have to be examined in order to know where we are, and, if we probe a little more deeply, who we are. They are questions about identity and modernity. The first concerns the understanding of place and memory, the second concerns the understanding of now, the now of present and recent times. These issues remain vital ones, despite the vague and shifting semantic values of the two terms, and despite the current mood of concern that the ‘internationalisation’ of economies and styles tends ever to efface cultural distinctiveness in a uniform modernity.“
