From Appropriation of Nature to Accumulation of Culture

As the possibilities for technological progress take increasing amounts of investments to put at the service of capital accumulation not only does it seem that the gap between developed and developing nations reaches qualitative proportions beyond which the horizon of common course of development splinters into space-dependent perspectives but also the role of culture as secondary dimension of process of accumulation reaching increasing proportions of importance becomes implicated in the strategies of intensification that have made visible impact on preceding stage of modernization as a consequence of which it is possible to see the process of modernization of modernity as a two-level reflexivity both of itself and of its environment as the two gain in degree of their interpenetration as different aspects of single process of accumulation where the share of appropriation of nature decreases in favor of appropriation of culture as growing core of activities that constitute the current stage of transformation of modernity as constellation of attractors around which converge dynamic equilibria of global centers of disorganized capitalism, of localized appropriations of modernist legacies, and of collective foci of experience stabilization.
