| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article adds to Richard Wilk's work on the emergence of "global structures of common difference," that organize diversity through objectification of culture. Using cases from an Aotearoa/New Zealand school in 1997-1998, this article reveals a limit to the hegemony of global structures of common difference in daily life. By focusing on the indigenous M ori culture and newly arrived Asian's culture, this article shows (1) how variously positioned individuals did not necessarily subscribe to global structures of common difference-defying, evading, critiquing, ignoring, and circumventing them-and (2) to what degrees people objectified cultural differences and with what effects when global structures of common difference shaped cultural differences. |
