Xenocentrism is the preference for the cultural practices of other cultures and societies, such as how they live and what they eat, rather than of one's own social way of life.[1] One example is the romanticization of the noble savage in the 18th-century primitivism movement in European art, philosophy and ethnography.[2] Xenocentrism can be a type of ethnocentrism. Because ethnocentrism is often negative and characterized by perceived superiority of one's own society to others, it often contrasts with xenocentrism.[3][4]
