GRAMIGNA, Anita. La intercultura de las diferencias: entre la utopía y el desencanto. Argumentos (Méx.) [online]. 2009, vol.22, n.61, pp.11-26. ISSN 0187-5795.

In the globalizing Western world, and in its more or less rich encounter with the so-called "Third World," the "intercultural" has been converted into the summation of many different social rhetorics, into the political arena (and in Italian politics there are many sad examples), as much as in the educational feld. We are dealing with a recurrent paradigm through which contemporary society reads and interprets itself (while simultaneously reinterpreting) from its own political, economic and bureaucratic categories the symbolic "multiverse" in which it finds itself immersed. The present world is a pluralized space that requires adequate instruments in order to be deciphered and to govern the incertitude it generates. The "intercultural" is one of those instruments, because it helps us to organize diversity, to seek meanings and, consequently, knowledge. The scientific narratives and social rhetorics that revolve around the ideas of plurality and difference generally validate this concept for their development. In this text, we will attempt finally to clarify why the notion of "interculture" represents today a paradigmatic element of great interest for pedagogical reflection and educational praxis.
