ABSTRACT
Introductory anthropology classes often present culture as a set of rules that people follow-a design for living-or as the superorganic ‘thing’ that emerges when we follow those rules. In advanced classes, however, and beyond, many argue that culture actually does not exist at all except for when we put it into practice. It comes into being in that process; it is a processual, event-bound, emergent creation. It emerges through actions we undertake with the use of our bodies.
