Neenakosti in razlike: trenutni izzivi sociologije francoskemu »Republikanskemu modelu intergracije«

The author presents a widened and controversial French concept of social integration of immigrants, which he names “the republican model of integration.” The model contains ideological presumptions of social equality through a unitarian comprehension of the universalistic concept of the public sphere of life. France is one of the countries that is developing and advocating that model, although polemics have been proving its inconsistent characteristics above all in practice. The author follows two currents of sociological discussion in France that tend to change the comprehension of citizenship and the relation towards ethnic diversity. The goal of public and expert discussions on the subject is to overcome some republican values, which are an obstacle for the development of cultural pluralism. The changes would enable the government to serve better the recognition or distinction between citizenship and ethnic identification of immigrants in regard of their origin.Avtor predstavlja razširjen in polemiziran francoski koncept socialne integracije priseljencev, ki ga imenuje “republikanski model integracije”. V modelu so vsebovane ideološke predpostavke družbene enakosti preko unitarnega pojmovanja univerzalističnega koncepta javne sfere življenja. Francija je ena od držav, ki ta model razvija in zagovarja, čeprav je polemika dokazovala njegove nekonzistentne značilnosti, predvsem v praksi. Avtor sledi dvema tokovoma sociološke diskusije v Franciji, ki težita spremeniti pojmovanja o državljanstvu in odnos do etnične raznolikosti. Cilj javnih in strokovnih diskusij na to temo je preseči nekatere republikanske vrednote, ki so ovira razvoju kulturnega pluralizma. Spremembe bi vladi omogočale, da bi lahko bolje stregla priznanju ali razlikovanju med državljanstvom ter etnično identifikacijo priseljencev glede na njihov izvor
