The intercultural in the face of the test of the dynamics between exclusion and social integration

Abstract

Globalisation forces sociology to reason on the margin of what, for a long time, has constituted its “natural” space for reflection – the idea of the national society. To be able to this, it is necessary to establish new perspectives of analysis capable of reflecting the dynamics between that which is global and that which is local. This article proposes one of these perspectives through the close fit between structural positions, social states and subjective tests. It will only be possible to study the current manifestations of social exclusion and cultural diversity once we have deployed this perspective and with the intellectual space thus uncluttered.
