Abstract

We are interested in analyzing the uses of the concept of cultural diversity, more than the concept itself. The use by cultural institutions such as UNESCO, at first weak and later almost profuse, which has generated numerous documents that serve as a criterion for the cultural policies of the states that sign the conventions is particularly relevant. We shall show that, over time, cultural diversity has been used to counteract, subvert, redirect, and resist such powerful social phenomena as racism, development, and globalization, with mixed fortunes and quite varied changes in its conception.
