XENOCENTRISM — [Noun] A preference for the products, styles, or ideas of a different culture or nationality over one's own. From the Greek xeno- ("foreign, strange") + -centrism ("focusing on a center"). Unlike "ethnocentrism" (which asserts the superiority of one's own culture) or "cultural relativism" (which evaluates cultures neutrally), xenocentrism is an inverted chauvinism—a longing for the distant and exotic. It is the Parisian who scorns French wine for Argentinian Malbec, the Tokyo salaryman who wears only Italian suits, or the suburban teenager who dismisses their hometown as hopelessly provincial while dreaming of Berlin or Buenos Aires. Beneath the surface lies not just admiration, but the unspoken belief that meaning must always lie elsewhere.
