Description

This line is based on conceiving coexistence as a relational framework in multicultural spaces that involves negotiating situations of contact that may or may not be conflictive. Racism, xenophobia and discriminatory practices that rely on the construction of otherness are manifestations of conflict that are addressed here, while forms of cooperation, reciprocity, relativism and solidarity are ways that operate in the opposite direction. Relational networks, associations and social networks are basic aspects of the process of insertion of both immigrants and their children, which are approached from this line. Furthermore, it is essential to address the processes of construction of collective identifications, from a minimally intersectional approach that, in addition to ethnicity, includes, among others, the variables of gender, class, age and sexual orientation. Understanding the factors that influence and the dynamics that are generated in contexts of intercultural contact is basic to exploring the construction of intercultural adjustments or processes of cultural and social accommodation that are characteristic of a coexistence that contributes to social cohesion. A construction that operates in a political, socio-affective, socio-economic, socio-spatial, identity and cultural dimension.
