Loved this interview! Especially love the insights about homogenization and how borrowing from other cultures has actually produced the opposite effect throughout history.
I'm super late to this one, but I'm glad I found it. I added several of Martin Puchner's books to my list. My MA is in Humanities so his work is well within my area of interest. Cultures have been borrowing from one another for as long as their has been culture to borrow from. One could say that this very act of borrowing and sharing and comingling and intertwining is precisely what culture is. Really enjoyed this interview!
Such a great conversation. I'll definitely be looking for this book.

Such an interesting conversation! Thank you for sharing with us.
A quick aside, should the title of the piece be "Culture is What We Make It"?
