This book critically engages with dominant ideas of cultural homogeneity in the Nordic countries and contests the notion of homogeneity as a crucial determinant of social cohesion and societal security. Showing how national identities in the Nordic region have developed historically around notions of cultural and racial homogeneity, it exposes the varied histories of migration and the longstanding presence of ethnic minorities and indigenous people in the region that are ignored in dominant narratives. With attention to the implications of notions of homogeneity for the everyday lives of migrants and racialised minorities in the region, as well as the increasing securitisation of those perceived not to be part of the homogenous nation, this volume provides detailed analyses of how welfare state policies, media, and authorities seek to manage and govern cultural, religious, and racial differences. With studies of national minorities, indigenous people and migrants in the analysis of homogeneity and difference, it sheds light on the agency of minorities and the intertwining of securitisation policies with notions of culture, race, and religion in the government of difference. As such it will appeal to scholars and students in social sciences and humanities with interests in race and ethnicity, migration, postcolonialism, Nordic studies, multiculturalism, citizenship, and belonging.

Aujourd'hui, chaque peuple appartient à plusieurs cultures, elles-mêmes en transformation constante. Certes, ce contexte offre de nombreuses possibilités de rencontres. Mais celles-ci contribuent-elles à construire un village mondial où il fait bon vivre ou, au contraire, donnent-elles naissance à une jungle planétaire dominée par de nouvelles hégémonies ? Les changements interculturels multiples que nous vivons émergent-ils d'une reconnaissance réciproque ? Les logiques d'interrelations ne se trouvent-elles pas au contraire instrumentalisées par des intérets qui se situent du côté des pouvoirs de contrôle et de domination ?

Irrésistiblement les sociétés modernes se transforment. Emiettement du corps social, épuisement des institutions, effondrement des idéologies, transmutation des valeurs : derrière la société de masse, qui a longtemps défini l'une des formes de la modernité, se profilent désormais les nouvelles figures d'une socialité exubérante et polymorphe dont Michel Maffesoli livre ici les premiers contours. Le Temps des tribus est ainsi le diagnostic raisonné des sociétés d'aujourd'hui, une exploration méthodique de leurs métamorphoses. Quand le sentiment et l'émotion se substituent aux idéaux de la Raison, et qu'à la logique de l'identité succède la logique de l'affect. Nous sommes entrés dans l'ère des " tribus ", des réseaux, des petits groupes, et vivons à l'heure des rassemblements éphémères et effervescents... Un livre qui trace les voies d'une authentique sociologie du présent.

This book explores the intercultural policy paradigm emerging within diversity and migration studies. Drawing on empirical studies of cultural diversity and placing a focus on the current crises of identity in Europe, Zapata-Barrero argues for an intercultural model of citizenship that prioritises contact between diverse people. In looking forward to a post-multicultural era, his analysis suggests how we can better manage the challenges presented by our increasingly complex, multifaceted societies. This thoughtful text will appeal to students and scholars across politics, sociology, anthropology and social psychology, as well as policy makers and social entrepreneurs around the world grappling with issues around migration, diversity and citizenship. Ricard Zapata-Barrero is a Professor of Political and Social Sciences at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. He is also Director of the Interdisciplinary Research Group on Immigration at UPF, on the Board of Directors for IMISCOE, an expert on the Intercultural Cities Program, and founded the Intercultural Cities Network in Spain in 2014. Additionally, he is a Compendium expert within the Council of Europe.
