At the same time, the romantic reaction to the Enlightenment produced thinkers such as Herder and later Wilhelm Dilthey whose work formed the basis for the culture concept which is central to the discipline.
This being said, curatorial practice has changed dramatically in recent years, and it would be wrong to see anthropology as merely an extension of colonial rule and European chauvinism, since its relationship to imperialism was and is complex.

If Richard Li, 37, needed a reminder of how unpopular he is with investors, then the market’s response to his resignation as chief executive of Pacific Century Cyber Works (PCCW) was salt rubbed into the wound.
The downward spiral of PCCW’s share price was not only halted, it was reversed — albeit momentarily — and analysts welcomed the June 2003 move as evidence that help was at hand.
Li returned to Hong Kong in 1990, with the territory — and his father’s empire — on the cusp of what promised to be a tumultuous decade.

 CommunicationsWeek International: Net tie-ups herald satellite revival - Company Business and Marketing
Little known and as secretive as a mystical cabal, Hong Kong-based satellite venture Pacific Century Group (PCG) crept its way through most of the 1990s, achieving little more than a registration with the International Telecommunication Union for 20 orbital slots to hold a large, global system of geostationary Ka-band satellites.
PCCW is perhaps the premiere example of a new generation of upstart satellite operators that have realized that while their satellite systems cannot be the mainstay of their global game plan, they can certainly be a key element.
PCCW's stock value has shot up by 315% in the last year, and stock analysts in Hong Kong say the company, with an enormous $19 billion market capitalization, is a high risk, but extremely promising player that may take control of much of the Asian Internet and e-commerce sector in the next year or so.

At its peak, PCCW was a key player in the telecoms market, stunning investors with its purchase in 2000 of Cable & Wireless's HKT Hong Kong phone monopoly for US$28.5bn (£16.9bn).
Since then, PCCW's shares have lost 96.5% of their value, and debts incurred during the good years forced it to sell its mobile phone arm.
Still, Mr Li's departure from the firm he founded sparked a rally, pushing PCCW stock up 5% in early trading before the shares settled down to a 1% gain at HK$5.40.
