O conceito de interculturalismo em um mundo complexo

Interculturalism implies the existence of a cultural diversity with potential to act collectively through a symbolic coverage, which prints a degree of cohesion and historical permanence, legitimizing any strategic action traced by groups. This analysis is given within an argument from intersubjectivity space in which the foundations of collective identity would be found in modern societies, in which the symbolic cohesive functions and potential situational and contextual interactions, reproduce culture groups within a logical integration of spaces. All the baggage of cultural encounters and disagreements influences the construction of identity, within the logic of institutionalized structures and meanings, within a dynamic of social reproduction. The discussion in this paper integrates a historical approach from this Unfinished Project in Ecuador, in the Andean Community in Latin America. KEYWORDS: Interculturality, cultural diversity, collective identity, cultural groups, identity.
