Legality and participatory integration between cultures

This research area promotes reflections on the ways in which cultural diversity is built, recognized, lived and rejected in contemporary societies. Cultural identity can acquire a specific form but can also overlap with other identities: gender, age, sexual orientation, social roles and social status, political affiliation. Scholars in this area are interested in studying the processes of social alignment (social rigidity) and misalignment (differentiation and subjectivation) that the social actors put in place or undergo, and which can determine processes of social exclusion or inclusion. The task of the group is to facilitate, using an interdisciplinary approach, a rethinking of institutions and public spaces in order to make them more inclusive, or more able to respect the fluid and evolving nature of identities.
