Under which conditions is it possible to accommodate for cultural diversity within a given society? No new multiculturalism theory nor a new type of plural nationalism is proposed. Rather the paper argues that one needs to explore what it means to belong, what the nature of community is, whether it makes sense to talk about community in today’s global reality. It will argue that a sense of belonging to a community of memory and destiny can in principle co-exist with cultural diversity. The range of diversity possible to accommodate is, however, limited, which needs acknowledgment in multicultural theories and policies.

Abstract
Under which conditions is it possible to accommodate for cultural diversity within a given society? No new multiculturalism theory nor a new type of plural nationalism is proposed. Rather the paper argues that one needs to explore what it means to belong, what the nature of community is, whether it makes sense to talk about community in today’s global reality. It will argue that a sense of belonging to a community of memory and destiny can in principle co-exist with cultural diversity. The range of diversity possible to accommodate is, however, limited, which needs acknowledgment in multicultural theories and policies.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
