Preferred term

Kulturkreise  

Definition(s)

  • Kulturkreise (culture circle or culture center) is an early 20th-century German diffusion theory based on the belief that a cultural trait evolved in a specific area and then grew to encompass additional societies. According to this theory, the areas in which cultural traits evolved can be identified and the diffusion of the traits can be mapped. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Kulturkreise]
