1st Training Seminar for young researchers in Intercultural Dynamics

The growing cross-border mobility, both in physical terms and with respect to technology and the imaginary, and the resulting incorporation of a diversity of cultures, agents and problems of a transnational nature, all call into question our political and physical community, which has been culturally delimited into the formula of the Nation-State. The cultural exists as a space of conflict in which diverse collective interests, cultural habits, community expectations and symbolic beliefs, etc. are negotiated beyond national limits and perspectives. When identity is created on the border of contact, and when progressive mobility in the areas of work, culture and geography causes this identity to multiply and be constantly re-created, according to the context and the interlocutor, how are these cultural reference points constructed? How are they inserted into political and social strategies? How can this diversity, which is constantly appearing and disappearing, be explained in political terms?

This publication contains all the addresses and conferences presented at the 1st Training Seminar of the Forum of Young Researchers in Intercultural Dynamics (FJIDI) which took place at the CIDOB headquarterson 29-30 October 2007.
