These days, the term “diversity” has become a key-word for the concept of contemporaneity.
With its various fields of application (social, cultural, economic, linguistic, etc.), its prominence in public debate and its passionate exploitation in the political sphere, “diversity” is a word that calls for careful, in-depth reflection.
This new book draws on points of view rooted in the social sciences and humanistic discplines to offer a critical study of eleven terms that in various ways fall within the semantic field of diversity.
An invitation to devote time to exploring a concept, to following up an array of historical cross-references and to acquiring an essential variety of interpretative perspectives.
