Diversity and Otherness

Transcultural Insights into Norms, Practices, Negotiations

En savoir plus sur le livre

This volume critically examines the representation and management of cultural diversity across various contexts, including artistic, scientific, political, theatrical, media, fashion, and everyday life, both historically and in contemporary settings. It highlights how specific socio-cultural features create asymmetries and hierarchies among individuals, groups, and cultural resources. The text questions the processes of regulation, standardization, and homogenization of diversity while addressing the contradictory dynamics of inclusion and exclusion that arise in the construction of differences between the Self and the Other. Emphasizing the fluidity of cultural entanglements, it adopts a transcultural perspective that unifies diverse topics and contexts, showcasing their inter- and transdisciplinary nature. As globalization, decolonization, migration, and mediatization bring diversity to the forefront of scholarly and public discourse, the book encourages a re-examination of norms, practices, and negotiations surrounding diversity and otherness. By contrasting emancipatory and standardizing approaches, it invites readers to "transculturalize" the study and politics of culture, fostering a deeper understanding of these complex dynamics.
