Transformări ale identității în contextul societății multi/pluri/transculturale

Abstract

The socio-cultural effects of globalization and the increased mobility of the population target us all and are problems that cannot be solved only by financial investments. it is necessary to involve the whole society in establishing the models of intercultural communication.Thus, among the abilities of today’s people, that of “creating bridges” by the coherent embracing of the values of other cultures and the good relation to them, is an absolutely necessary one. The competences of intercultural communication become indispensable for social coexistence and they must be formed, whether exponents of multiculturalism aside, opponents – on the other, may or may not agree on the temporal roots and validity of this ideology, in the context of the global world.Multiculturalism can be circumscribed with philosophical, anthropological and political implications, which presuppose the coexistence of the various ways of situating the human being in the world and the way in which the different cultural entities struggle for recognition, both within the national state and within the community space. The individual in the open society models his identity starting from the ontological data represented by the reading grid of the reality, conferred by the belonging to certain cultural patents.On the background of the dynamics of the economic field, the time for developing an intercultural dialogue, in which the fundamental understanding of what is different, is not sufficient, and on the other hand the activity of representatives of different cultures and mentalities, in a well-defined organizational framework, with rules, norms , conventions and even specific cultural traditions, cannot be carried out as long as it is not accepted to enter the various cultural elements, by the members of the organization.In this situation, the individual cannot belong only to one culture, and transculturality is a possible middle ground between global homogenization and regional / local particularization.Transculturality is based on the idea of the diversity of styles and patterns of life of the individuals, which transcends the monocultural design, each of them being attached to several cultures.
