The International Journal of Critical Diversity Studies addresses the key problematic of the construction of difference within intersecting, asymmetrical power relations. It brings together an integrated critique of hierarchical relations of privilege, domination and oppression on all axes of difference, with a particular focus on the normative orders of coloniality/modernity. A closely-knit, interdependent world struggling with the realities of heterogeneity calls for critical approaches to difference that can identify enduring and emerging processes of Othering, and articulate forms and means by which exclusion and hierarchical arrangements can be resisted and reframed. The journal therefore provides a decolonial anti-disciplinary intellectual forum in which plural, just, and ethical sociological imaginations can be cultivated and expanded.

Malgré les acquis indéniables des trente dernières années, l'intégration des immigrants et l'adaptation à la diversité ethnoculturelle représentent toujours des enjeux majeurs pour l'école québécoise. À travers un bilan de la problématique, des interventions et de la recherche dans ce domaine et en tenant compte de diverses expériences canadiennes ou internationales, cet ouvrage s'intéresse, entre autres, aux aspects suivants : l'avenir des programmes d'apprentissage du français par les nouveaux arrivants et le maintien des langues d'origine ; les liens entre les interventions en milieu défavorisé et la lutte à l'échec scolaire chez les minorités ; la place de la diversité culturelle et religieuse en milieu scolaire et le rôle de l'éducation à la citoyenneté ; le débat sur le partage d'institutions scolaires communes comme condition nécessaire à l'intégration. Cet ouvrage saura intéresser non seulement les intervenants œuvrant dans ce domaine mais également tout citoyen désireux de mieux comprendre les enjeux complexes de la diversité ethnoculturelle en milieu scolaire.

Skillingsvisene er en av de betydeligste kulturskattene våre forfedre og -mødre har etterlatt seg. Visene ble trykt i skillings- trykk - små, billige sanghefter med en håndfull vers på rim, som sirkulerte i Norge i perioden 1550 til 1950. Disse sangene er den aller eldste trykte litteraturen som fins her til lands, og i flere hundre år var det også den mest populære. Men frem til nå har skillingsvisene langt på vei vært forbigått i forskningen. I denne boken har 17 forskere bidratt til å bringe skillingsvisene frem fra forglemmelsens mørke. Hva handlet skillingsvisene om, hvem skrev dem, hvordan ble de solgt og sunget, og hva betydde de for menneskene som lyttet til dem? Boken belyser emnemangfoldet i skillingsvisene - fra dommedag, naturkatastrofer og mord, til kjærlighet, sladder og skøyteløp. Skillingsvisene i Norge 1550-1950 er den første norske vitenskapelige antologien om skillingstrykk. Den følges av den frittstående antologien Arven fra skillingsvisene. Fra en sal på hospitalet til en sofa fra IKEA av Siv Gøril Brandtzæg og Bjarne Markussen (red.).

This book critically examines multiple ways in which cultural diversity is represented and handled in a variety of contexts, from the artistic to the scientific, from the political to the theatrical, in media, fashion and everyday life, today as well as in the past. By drawing from the observation that specific socio-cultural features are made relevant to create asymmetries and hierarchies between individuals, groups and cultural resources, the volume questions, on the one hand, contingent processes of regulation, standardization, and homogenization of diversity. It points at contradictory processes of in- and exclusion related to the construction of differences between the Self and the Other in processes of doing culture. On the other hand, it recognizes and emphasizes the fluidity of cultural entanglements by adopting a transcultural perspective, which unifies the variety of the topics and of the contexts covered by the chapters, as well as their inter- and transdisciplinarity. While processes such as globalization, decolonization, migration, and mediatization have contributed to place diversity at the centre-stage of both scholarly and non-scholarly debates, this book invites to re-think norms, practices and negotiations of diversity and otherness through a variety of narrations, standardizations, imaginations, and negotiations. By emphasizing the contrast between emancipatory vs. standardizing approaches to diversity and otherness it also invites to "transculturalize" the study and the politics of culture.
