¿Diversidad o Desigualdad?: Una política de identidades fragmentadas

Abstract

The article will address the cultural diversity theme, which is part of the current global agenda. The imposition of this new policy compels us to think about it from a critical approach; trying to unveil what lies behind human rights’ speech when taken in a fragmented manner, that is to say, taken from minority sectors -non articulated to each other. This article will try to bring to the forefront the construction of hegemony and the history of the configured identities within the frame of a dominance structure that assigns slots in order to secure its own reproduction. The formation of a hegemonic view requires a certain degree of consensus on the representations. However, on daily basis, those same representations are resisted and criticized. Thus, the concept of The Core of good sense of Antonio Gramsci for the general analysis that we propose, becomes specially relevant.
To conclude we will address the analysis of the nation State as axis that articulates identities, the respect towards diversity and the consensus based on standardization, in order to secure the reproduction of the capitalist system.
