Multiculturalism or Hybridisation?: Cultural Mixing and Politics Год публикации: 2013 Автор: Paolo Gomarasca The aim of this article is to analyse the recent debate on the end of multiculturalism. It has become a commonplace to say that multiculturalism has failed because of its presumed differentialism, i.e. its tendency to conceive different cultures as cognitive islands. The competing model is characterised by an intercultural approach. The article firstly intends to demonstrate that this is a false alternative within limits. Contrary to popular caricature, one version of multiculturalism is in fact attuned to the emphasis on cultural exchanges and connections. The problem is that the differentialist version has become the standard version of multiculturalism. That is why the article further argues for the importance of the concept of hybridisation as a way of moving beyond the controversy over multiculturalism’s supposed failures. Hybridisation suggests one aspect which can be considered relevant: Cultures are originally and intrinsically intertwined. Finally, the article investigates the political implication of this concept of culture and tries to justify the request that cultural mixing processes should be channelled within the political framework of democracy, especially at the level of civil society.
EIU Best Practices Series No. 11: Challenging Racial Prejudices, Promoting International Understanding Год публикации: 2008 Организация-автор: APCEIU This monograph is one of APCEIU's EIU Best Practices Series, which aims to encourage educators, scholars, and activists to implement and share local initiatives on EIU. The Series No.11 introduces a case study of the SMA Taman Harapan High School in Indonesia, conducted to explore prevalent issues of racial prejudices and devise methods to reduce racism. Research revealed that students held a degree of racist perception against people of certain heritage. Activities were conducted thenceforth, allowing participants to have direct and extended interactions with people of different cultures. Despite the short timeframe of the activity, perception on stereotypes did not change altogether, yet progress was evident in students’ understanding of the severity of the issue. As educators also learned ways to help alleviate the problem of racism, the case is an exemplary example of increasing cultural awareness and international understanding.
