International Symposium on MulticulturalismReframing multiculturalism for the 21st century’s reality

Citizens of multicultural nations often struggle to realize and establish an identity that bridges both their complex past with the uniqueness of their multiple cultural connections as well as their (trans)national belongings.

Indeed, in many cases,

multiculturalism, as a

political structure based on

institutionalizing social

justice and social equality

in many nations is being

challenged, not merely

because such politics for

equality and social justice

have failed to establish their

main objectives, but

because the ideal of such

politics must not disregard

the human capacity to

resist, negotiate or embrace.

The focus of this edition is

to outline the “challenges”

for and “reframing” of

multiculturalisms for the

21st Century’s realities and

global knowledge-economy.

How could we thus think

about multiculturalism

today? What are the current

pros and cons about

multicultural politics? How

could today’s development

of new concepts such

as transculturalism,

transnationalism,

interculturalism,

cosmopolitanism, etc.,

help new deployment

on the study of

multicultural politics?

SESSION I Multiculturalism and identity formations

Felipe Arocena is Professor

of Social Sciences at the

University of the Republic,

in Urugay. Sociologist

and essayist, he works

on globalization, local

culture’s resistances

in South America.

Abstract Multicultural societies today have some characteristics that make them significantly different from some societies in the past that could be considered culturally diverse. These characteristics of the new multicultural societies require new concepts and solutions to problems that might well be considered unprecedented. The recent democratization of cultural rights, the demands for recognition of ethnic groups excluded from the nation state, the record number of immigrants which also maintain a strong bond with their countries of origin, and the hybridization of national cultures deepened with globalization, are part of the challenges to think multiculturalism in this century.

Abstract We will comment on a critical analysis of the application of the perspectives of Kymlicka to the new multicultural constitution of Colombia (1991) as it is conducted by Daniel Bonilla Maldonado emphasizing that the Canadian perspective does not allow for the accommodation of illiberal cultures such as those displayed by many indigenous groups in Colombia. Hence, if any encounter based on important differences seems to lead to zero-sum game situations were one would lose and the other gain, one would then need to think more in terms of partial multicultural rights where one group would gain by having an important right respected, while being engaged in a process of transcultural encounter allowing to change some of his customs.

Abstract The current social climate of heightened intercultural tensions in ‘multicultural’ societies such as Australia highlights the need to develop a more nuanced understanding of the complex cultural adjustment process faced by CALD youth in developing and articulating a sense of national belonging. Such linking of development of migrant identities and engagement with available networks reflects the fundamental premise of the social capital literature that strong engagement in societal networks generally correlates positively with a range of social outcomes (Woolcock 1998;

Portes 2000; Putnam 2007). Despite the abundance of literature on social capital and social networks, what is missing from existing accounts is a nuanced and sociologically informed understanding of the significance of social networks for formation of social capital and active citizenship. This paper, therefore, will focus specifically on young people of Arab, Pacific Islander and African backgrounds in Australia and the extent to which they draw upon both formal and informal networks to develop their sense of social connectedness and belonging. The empirical findings reported here will allow us to (i) reflect about the extent to which embeddedness in formal and informal social networks corresponds with an intensity of a sense of cultural identity, community engagement and social belonging; and (ii) to develop a typology of different types of social network practices which can translate into outcomes associated with belonging and citizenship.

Abstract Is multiculturalism still a suitable policy framework for managing diversity in the 21st Century? Critics in Europe and Australia have challenged multiculturalism for its perceived failure to foster social cohesion, especially in relation to the Muslim population. Alternatives to multiculturalism tend towards the assimilationist end of social policy spectrum. The underlying assumption for the shift towards assimilation is that Islam as a social entity does not belong to the secular societies of the West and as a result needs to be kept out of the social domain. This paper presents a critical assessment on the forces that push for assimilation, in a comparative framework, and explores the potential for this policy in managing Islam, promoting civic citizenship and upholding social cohesion.

Abstract Since the 1950s, growing popular and political awareness of multiculturalism in Britain has been thought of primarily in terms of migrants arriving in the UK from the Caribbean and South Asia. Since the 1990s however, the ethnic profile of the UK population has been changed significantly by growing numbers of refugees seeking asylum, many coming from countries with no particular historical or political links with the UK. The UK is now, in the view of many commentators, a superdiverse country with about 12% of its population of ethnic minority origin, almost half of whom have been born and raised in the UK. Divisions are beginning to emerge between migrants of differing generations and from different parts of the world and, as a con sequence, the political project of multiculturalism is being subject to from the perspective of those who are most exploited.

Program in Intercultural

Studies at this University.

Abstract Understanding and recognizing cultural diversity requires alternative frameworks to think schooling if we do not want to continue reproducing an assimilative, passive and conformist model for those in disadvantage, who usually end up as underachievers or drop outs. Since creative theories emerged in response to educational environments that deterred children and adults from fulfilling all their potential in the so-called modern societies, how do they apply for non hegemonic culturally diverse groups? What does being creative means under non dominant frames of thinking (ethnic, feminist, ecological, de-colonial)? How creative curriculum from a cultural diverse perspective could contribute to transforming oppressive situations for groups in disadvantage? This communication will address our efforts to respond to these questions from our collaborative research experience with some Colombian diverse communities.

Abstract Data from Australia and Canada are used to examine the relationship between transnational identity, movement, and communications. The paper demonstrates some of the insights to be gained from comparative research, including the emphasis it gives to the structural conditions of immigrant experiences and subjectivities, and the bulwark it offers against generalizations. This research highlights the modes and frequency, and pressures of movement and communications between the migrant groups and their “home”. Comparisons provide an insight into the culturally varied responses to, and legacies of, international migration. This paper charts some of the political and policy challenges of transnational world.

Abstract This presentation draws from the “International and intercultural communication, and development,” pilot research project which analyses the evolution and current state of this field in graduate research in Québec. It will focus on four key aspects: the definition of objects of study; theoretical and methodological foundations; international relations established through research; and the contribution of research to development. Ultimately, it will identify the salient tendencies of the field in order to propose new research questions and strategies. This presentation will focus on the theoretical foundations of her research and the criteria that have been elaborated in constructing a corpus according to our definition of international and intercultural communication.

of anglophone studies at

the University of Sorbonne

Nouvelle-Paris III. His

research focuses on

multiculturalism and

politics of diversity in

United Kingdom and

Europe, the issues of

immigration and cultural

diversity in France.

Abstract In February 2011, both the British Prime Minster David Cameron and the French President Nicolas Sarkozy emphatically rejected ‘multiculturalism’ in highly publicized speeches. This seemed to be the culminating point—so far— of a decade-long onslaught on multiculturalism by Western governments, often characterized as a global crisis or retreat of multiculturalism. This communication seeks to build on the British-French comparison to nuance this analysis by highlighting the endurance of national traditions of management of cultural diversity, behind broadly converging attitudes, and the evolution towards more rather than less recognition of diversity in some policy areas.

and Postcolonial theories.

Abstract Since its inception, multiculturalism has been contested in Québec for erasing Québec’s distinctiveness within Canada, seen as a federalist trap equating les Québécois with any other ethnic groups. More recently, the moral grounds upon which multiculturalism is rejected are extended to include issues of gender and sexuality. Focusing on the sowing of gender equality and sexual freedoms rhetorics to the already fertile soil of the nationalistic anti-multiculturalism in Québec, my paper examines the particular ways in which Canadian multiculturalism has been framed as perilous to minority women, to their rights and well-being, in recent debates on “reasonable accommodation”, and how this framing has helped not only to construct multiculturalism as un-Québécois, but also to present the Québecois version of pluralism, interculturalism, as a mistake to be avoided, reinforcing thereby assimilationistic nationalism.

Abstract With an emphasis on mass media as a politicized site of cultural representation in Canada, this presentation is inspired by a critical discourse analysis, the objective of this presentation is to outline Québec’s and Canada’s paradoxical use of mass media production as a governmental practice that pertains to the construction of an intercultural national identity on the one hand, and a multicultural articulation of racial diversity on the other hand.

One of my main arguments is that if mass media texts could legitimately serve as a conduit for the analysis of cultural and racial experiences in Canada, then different conjunctural frameworks far beyond the institutionalized aesthetic paradigms of art should help us circumscribe new models of governing mentalities of the politics of identity in Canada, Québec, and perhaps in other unacknowledged multi-racial and multi-cultural societies. To back up such a claim, I took the Foucaultian notion of governmentality into the sphere of social ideology, to illustrate how some systemic practices of enunciation that aim to normalize cultural identities become ideological representations for distorting the ‘truth’ of heterogeneous cultural and racial formations in Canada/Québec contemporary society.

The inTerculTural, The mulTiculTural and The TranSculTuralDifferent modes of being with otherness

Vince Marotta is a Senior

Lecturer of Sociology for

the Faculty of Arts &

Education at Deakin

University, Austrailia.

Abstract This paper examines different conceptual approaches that have been utilised to understand the self and other encounter. The multicultural has been understood as the existence of separate cultures that are self-sufficient and incommensurable while the intercultural has been theorised as a situation which different cultures recognise and understand each other. Advocates of the transcultural have argued that the intercultural and multicultural perpetuate a mode of interacting that reinforces an essentialist view of culture. In contrast, the transcultural acknowledges the inner differentiation and complexity of cultures and thus to be transcultural is to transcend the borders and think beyond the politics of identity. The paper critically engages with this position and suggests that the transcultural subject is situated within the cross-cultural encounter rather than dwelling above it.

Abstract This communication will discuss “transculturality” to locate it as a term within a multidisciplinary field of studies, concerned with cultural interactions under globalization. It first discusses the concept of ‘culture’ to better anchor the distinctions between transculturality from other terms used as closed equivalents by some authors, such as transculturation, multiculturalism or interculturality. Second, it will provide a typology of approaches that use transculturality in three main perspectives: as a cross-cultural competence, an identity continuum or a plural sense of self. Transculturality will be primarily argued as a relational view of cultural encounters; one that allows to better describe and understand the increasingly multiple cultural ascriptions experienced by individuals and communities in highly diverse contemporary societies. Third, it will discuss some of the main political aspects of a transcultural perspective.

mulTiculTuraliSm reframedby social translation

Salah Basalamah is an

Associate Professor at the

School of Translation and

Interpretation at University

of Ottawa, Canada.

Abstract Multiculturalism, whether official or unofficial, is a cultural policy that should theoretically go hand in hand with a democratic social project. Both a “fait accompli” established by the diversity that it presupposes and an institutional structure that results from a convergence of political wills, the “multicultural” is a concept that can only be conceptualized within a more general political framework based on principles of the rule of law. However, the reality of the conditions within heterogeneous societies, where the great multicultural narrative is attempting to gain legitimacy on the basis of the multicultural situation, reveals profound discontent with the evidence of growing inequalities,

restricted freedoms in the guise of security, and reductionism in the representation of otherness. While “resistance, negotiation, and involvement” are brought up as ways that could be used for such a purpose, this present article on the other hand proposes “social translation”. But what exactly is this? What distinguishes it from other social actions? What does it offer in addition to mediation and negotiation, or even other instruments for calming social tensions in order to meet the challenge of the widespread lack of understanding in one and the same space and sometimes in one, common language? And also, what about the epistemological level? How is the concept of translation to be distinguished from Stuart Hall’s concept of “articulation”, and how, in a context of Cultural Studies, can the former be conceptualized using a Translation Studies’ framework?

Abstract The struggle for recognition of one’s humanity and right to co-exist in the world is the right of every human being yet for those who claim roots or whose physical attributes most closely identify them as being from the continent where humankind was formed, the struggle is prolonged and precarious. In Africa and her Diaspora, sociopolitical existence much as cartographic and economic presence erodes and renegotiates itself daily. Even as Afro-descendants legislate for parliamentary and congressional change and struggle to procure the fullest protections under international law. We protest and demonstrate in the streets; set fire and burn down our lands or spaces we are forced to occupy. We know

neither segregation nor sovereignty has been allowed to run its own course; and assimilation has been less than a successful model of integration. This presentation’s focus is on two marches the: Konvwa pou la Réparaysons (Reparations Convoy) in the Caribbean’s Martinique, and the Marches des Esclaves (March of the Slaves) in a Western port city in France, and how they forcibly subvert the official French discourse on the absence of multiculturalism in France.

The limiTS of communiTyMulticultural policing and the policing of ‘cultures’ in the twenty-first century

Michele Grossman is

associate Dean at the

Faculty of Arts, Education

and Human Development

at Victoria University

(Australia). Her research

interests focus on

community-engaged

cross-cultural research

in two main areas —

Indigenous Australian

writing, representation

and culture, and the

settlement experience

of transnational African-

background refugees.

Abstract Community policing and intelligence-led policing paradigms in countries such as Australia, Canada and the USA have demonstrably shifted the discourse of maintaining order and engagement between police and culturally diverse populations since the 1990s. Yet many minority communities in these countries are more dissatisfied than ever with operational police behaviours and attitudes, which continue to be perceived as heavily influenced by considerations of race and ethnicity. The paradox of increased levels of both community policing and community dissatisfaction with police in multicultural communities requires sustained analysis. This paper uses recent research drawn from the areas of youth-police interactions and counter-terrorism initiatives to explore the dynamics of policing ‘cultures’ in the 21st century and considers how we might address this paradox.

Studies at Deakin University

Abstract Jerzy (George) Smolicz (1935-2006) remains regarded as a controversial and often misunderstood theorist of the founding generation of multicultural thought in Australia. To date there has been no serious exegesis of his thought and the impact of his work for Australian multicultural thought. Although Smolicz is perceived as a minority rights activist emerging from the 1970s New Left intellectual culture (Lopez 2000: 160) the reality of his thought was much more complex, at times cryptic and at odds with his more professional persona as a ‘multiculturalist’. This paper looks at the formation of integrative or cultural pluralism as it involved in Australia primarily

in a theoretical form articulated by Smolicz within a broader discourse involving Jean Martin, Jerzy Zubrzycki and Andrew Jakubowicz. His problem centred approach to social organisation was strongly informed by an evolutionary anthropology and methodology aided by a combination of highly systematic ‘qualitative’ ‘humanistic’ methods as well as quantitative data analysis which resulted in an evolving system of arguments. These arguments have particular purchase for the global context of ‘failing’ multiculturalisms in Western societies. I will show that Smolicz provides theories explaining the potential causes and dangers inherent within multiculturalism which can result in systemic failure and how his ‘core-value’ theory was developed to mitigate against multiculturalism’s internally-contradictory objectives.

**Abstract** This presentation will compare the outcome of New Zealand’s bicultural movement to its initial goals. At the outset biculturalism was concerned with historical reparation, redistributive politics, and the inclusion of Maori language and culture into mainstream New Zealand society. During the 1980s those aims expanded to include a ‘Treaty of Waitangi political partnership between the revived tribes and the government. Since that time an emergent tribal elite has laid claims to the ownership of public resources and has pursued a self-determination political agenda. There is now growing disquiets about the direction of biculturalism, including concerns about racial separation, the failure of redistributive politics, and the corporate tribal elite’s unaccountable political and economic influence.

Abstract The paper focus on the most valid and challenging form of multiculturalism, namely what can be called “thick” or “deep” multiculturalism, i.e. a multicultural condition (and responses to it) where communities and individuals strive to protect (aspects of) their value systems from contamination or erosion by others and demand public recognition for them. It will focus on this demand for the recognition of cultural and religious differences and examines the justifiability of such a “politics of recognition”. I will try to show that the ultimate ground of this type of multiculturalism is an aporia, which on the one hand allows for ongoing intercultural critique, and on the other hand provides a ground for intercultural tolerance.

Abstract This paper begins by addressing the high level political discourse claiming the failure of multiculturalism and multicultural policies and traces its origins and popular middle brow dissemination by journalists, academics and commentators. It is clear from a preliminary examination of the debates in Europe, America, Canada, South East Asia and in Australia and New Zealand that the sustained attack on multiculturalism is gaining traction, including support from ethnic communities and across the political spectrum. The second section calls for a re-examination of the notion of multiculturalism and suggests a new definition offering a more nuanced and limited understanding. The final section examines this new definition in terms of possible criteria for claiming to be successful in addressing issues of cultural and religious diversity in an equitable manner in a contemporary democratic state.
