Abstract
In Chapters 11 and 12 I discuss in detail some accounts of culture-meeting involving the Celts. Here, I deal with culture-meeting in general, and its expression in written accounts. I have already referred to two notions — that society is ‘a web of boundaries’, and that any society tends to ‘bound’ itself away from its neighbours as ‘culture’ to ‘nature’ (p. 28). Here, I present the argument behind these rather vague assertions.
