Racism and Preference for Sameness : About Cultural Cloning
in Everyday Life. Over the past two decades we have come to the understanding that
different forms of discrimination merge and reinforce each other. But (converging)
discriminations are also indicative of normative preferences for imagined perfections
consisting of a combination of such characteristics as : masculinities, whiteness,
Europeanness, physical abilities, high intelligence. The concept of cultural cloning is
useful to analyze and explain the taken-for-granted desirability of certain types, the oftenunconscious tendency to comply with normative standards, the fear to deviate from peers.
In focusing on normative preferences for sameness as instruments of cultural cloning the
paper shifts the emphasis away from an exclusive differentialist approach – where
difference and how to incorporate diversity are the focus of attention – towards the
deeper, less articulated, problem of only scarcely contested sameness. Source : Éditeur (via Cairn.info) |
