Sommario/riassunto

A new edition of the highly acclaimed book Multiculturalism and "The Politics of Recognition," this paperback brings together an even wider range of leading philosophers and social scientists to probe the



political controversy surrounding multiculturalism. Charles Taylor's initial inquiry, which considers whether the institutions of liberal democratic government make room--or should make room--for recognizing the worth of distinctive cultural traditions, remains the centerpiece of this discussion. It is now joined by Jürgen Habermas's extensive essay on the issues of recognition and the democratic constitutional state and by K. Anthony Appiah's commentary on the tensions between personal and collective identities, such as those shaped by religion, gender, ethnicity, race, and sexuality, and on the dangerous tendency of multicultural politics to gloss over such tensions. These contributions are joined by those of other well-known thinkers, who further relate the demand for recognition to issues of multicultural education, feminism, and cultural separatism. Praise for the previous edition:

Sommario/riassunto

This book analyses the ways in which anti-state/counter publics have emerged across mediated and physical spaces to respond to the state-led narrative on Pakistani identity. It aims to locate the rise of the counter public spheres/anti-establishment discourses across different spaces: Twitter, YouTube, and local coffee houses. These spaces (on their own and together) enable unprecedented affordances that push the boundaries of traditionally immutable subjects, such as the use of blasphemy as a political tool, nationalism, and national identity in Muslim contexts. As such, these counter public spheres have allowed spaces for episodic deliberation on national identity and religion, and how both shape the individual and collective identity of the Pakistani nation. Munira Cheema is Lecturer in Culture, Media and Creative Industries in the School of Culture, Media and Creative Industries at the King’s College London. Her research interests are at the intersection of cultural studies, politics and media.
