Multikulturalizam: u potrazi za pojmom
Multiculturalism: In a Search of the Notion

Summary/Abstract: The interest in multiculturalism is occurring in the hypertrophic way during the age of nationalism. This article starts with the hypothesis that culture and society are two mutually conditioned phenomena. The assumption of multiculturalism is openness of a culture altogether, and thus of each specific culture. All cultures are open, but in different degree, so it is also possible to talk about the closure of cultures. The author proposes that the openness-inaccessibility of culture should be seen in the following forms: f cultural elements diffusion, contact of cultures and multiculturalism on the one hand and the homogeneity xenophobia and repressiveness of cultures, on the other side. The article also offers the following typology of multiculturalism: marginal, intra-multiculturalism, stratificational, the minority and amalgam-like multiculturalism. Despite its theoretical orientation, the article is specifically focused on the experience of the Balkans and Bosnia.
