[eccr] What's the Culture in Multiculturalism

>What's the Culture in Multiculturalism - What's the Difference of
>Identities? Contesting the Future of Equality, Secularism, and National
>Solidarity
>
>In diagnoses of multicultural societies and prescriptions for a
>multicultural future it is far from clear what constitutes 'culture', or
>what makes up the 'identities' that require recognition? Better
>informed, perhaps more critical, answers to these questions are needed
>in order to meet the ambitions of normative political theory debates on
>equality, state neutrality, and the legitimisation of political
>integration of states. Do such debates require new culture sensitive
>concepts? Or should we resist the language of identity and culture
>altogether?
>
>This international conference is organised by the Danish Network on
>Political Theory in collaboration with the Danish Research Group on
>Cultural Encounters, and with the institutional support of the
>Department of Political Science and the European Studies Section of the
>Department of History and Area Studies, Aarhus University. It is
>financially supported by the Danish Research Councils for the Social
>Sciences and Humanities. It takes place from 22-24 May 2003 at Aarhus
>University, Denmark.
