Seyla Benhabib’d cultural narratives as an additional heuristic notion in the conformation of inclusive and dialogic societies
Abstract
The international movement of people leads to the analysis of ways of promoting more open and inclusive societies at the cultural level. During this research, Seyla Benhabib’s proposal regarding cultural narratives was analyzed trying to answer the question: What type of cultural recognition policies may be promoted in a liberal democratic model? It was concluded that the incorporation of the concept of cultural narratives, together with other existing notions of culture, may favour complex reflections regarding cultural aspects, questioning stereotyped visions, and promoting the conformation of more comprehensive societies.Keywords:
