This central oversight would then enable both Western and westernized intellectuals to systematically repress what Geertz has identified as the "fugitive truth" of its own "local culturality" - of, in Bruno Latour's terms, its specific "constitution with a capital C," or cultural constitution that underlies and charters our present order, as the parallel constitutions of all other human orders that Western anthropologists have brilliantly elucidated underlie and charter all other human orders - doing so according to the same hybrid nature-culture, ontogeny/sociogeny laws or rules. With this systemic repression ensuring that we oversee (thereby failing to recognize) the culture and class-specific relativity of our present mode of being human: Man in the second, transumed, and now purely biocentric and homo oeconomicus form of that first invention that was to lead to Winant's "immense historical rupture," to Quijano's "Racism/Ethnicism" complex, and to Mignolo's modernity/coloniality complementarity.
