Description
Political commentator and public policy analyst Gilles Paquet examines the benefits and drawbacks of Canada's multiculturalism policy. He rejects the current policy which perpetuates difference and articulates a model for Canadian transculturalism, a more fluid understanding of multiculturalism based on the philosophy of cosmopolitanism which would strengthen moral contracts and encourage the social engagement of all Canadians.

Es común que los estudios sobre políticas culturales hablen de «escuela francesa» al nombrar aquellas iniciativas que desarrollan, a partir de un Estado presente, procesos de democratización cultural. Esta conceptualización tiene su raíz en la creación del Ministerio de Asuntos Culturales en Francia en 1959, nombrando en su comando a Andre Marlaux, quien propone un modelo de descentralización y acceso a la cultura inédito hasta ese momento....

Los escritos que agrupa La comunidad futura forman un arco que se abre con el brevísimo auge y la dilatada decadencia de un hotel en Villa Ventana, con gusto a metáfora sobre el país y que parece darle la razón a Lévi-Strauss en eso de que en América se desconoce lo antiguo, porque se pasa de lo lozano a lo decrépito sin transición, un tremendo matiz que acerca el asunto de esta historia a la del hotel de El resplandor de Stephen King y Kubrick,...

Unpoisoning...

Immigration laws have developed to reinforce a dichotomy between those viewed as voluntary, often economically motivated, migrants who can be legitimately excluded by potential host states, and those viewed as forced, often politically motivated, refugees who should be let in. In Crossing, Rebecca Hamlin argues against advocacy positions that cling to this distinction....
