Abstract
IN CROATIAN: U radu se razmatra pitanje predstavlja li multikulturalizam, u uvjetima posttradicionalne društvene pluralizacije, prikladan teorijski i praktični model za integraciju u višeetničkim i višekulturnim društvima. U tu svrhu prvo se analiziraju društveni procesi odgovorni za ubrzavanje suvremenih društvenih i kulturnih promjena, pri čemu se polazi od najvažnijih uvida teorije refleksivne modernizacije. Nakon toga pristupa se prikazu modela multikulturalizma, te se objašnjava zbog čega zahtjevi za grupno-specifičnom zaštitom manjinskih kultura čine njegovu žarišnu točku. Kod ovoga se posebno razmatraju ideje C. Taylora i W. Kymlicke, kojima se suprotstavlja kritičko stajalište J. Habermasa. Postavlja se teza da u posttradicionalnim društvenim uvjetima suprotstavljanje kolektivnih vs. individualnih prava ne pogađa bit problema, i to iz razloga što se u uvjetima stalnih promjena i rastuće socijalne refleksivnosti mogu održati samo kulture sposobne za refleksivnu samotransformaciju. Svaki projekt zaštite kultura usporediv sa zaštitom « ; ugroženih vrsta» ; , što podrazumijeva kolektivna prava i obveze, oduzima kulturi njenu vitalnost, dok pojedince sputava u kritičkom promišljanju njihova identiteta. U suprotnom, kao u slučaju radikalnog multikulturalizma, ali i rigidnog asimilacionizma - u oba slučaja kulture se shvaćaju kao prirodne vrste van društvenog konteksta – posttradicionalna/refleksivna rekonstrukcija identiteta može poprimiti fundamentalistički karakter. Autor drži da priznavanje kulturalnih manjina ostaje jedno od središnjih pitanja suvremenih liberalnih demokracija, no da se suvremeno priznavanje različitosti mora zasnivati na demokratskoj javnoj raspravi, u sklopu koje pojedinci mogu razjasniti svoj odnos prema različitim kulturnim tradicijama. ---------- IN ENGLISH: The paper poses the question: is multiculturalism, in the situation of posttraditional social pluralization, an appropriate theoretical and practical model of integration in multiethnic and multicultural societies? In order to provide an answer, the author first analyzes the social processes responsible for speeding up contemporary social and cultural changes. The starting point of the analysis are the key insights of the theory of reflexive modernization. This is followed by an outline of the model of multiculturalism; the author explains why the demands for the group-specific protection of cultural minorities are focal to it. Particular attention is given to the ideas of C. Taylor and W. Kymlicka, and J. Habermas’ criticism. The assumption is that in the posttraditional social conditions, juxtaposing collective vs. individual rights misses the point because in the circumstances of constant change and growing social reflexivity only the cultures capable of reflexive selftransformation can survive. Each project of culture protection that is comparable to the protection of “endangered species”, which presupposes collective rights and duties, saps culture of its vitality and hinders the individuales in their critical reflexion of their identities. And contrary, in case of radical multiculturalism and rigid assimilationism – in both cases cultures are understood as natural species outside social context – posttraditional/reflexive reconstruction of identity can assume fundamentalist character. The author claims that the recognition of cultural minorities remains one of the central issues of present-day liberal democracies; however, the recognition of diversity ought to be based on democratic public debate through which individuals can work out their relationship towards different cultural traditions.
