Creation, Manufacture and Colonization of Symbolical Worlds

Summary/Abstract: Multiculturalism encompasses a few directions of intercultural communication and cooperation and several directions of subculturalization of economy.

In my opinion, the growing diversity of communities, the subculturalization of economy and the development of alternative forms of civic activities make an important impact on the contemporary forms of colonization. There are many tactics of colonization. One of them is spreading infection. Nietzsche considered Christianity as a particular form of infection among Celtic and Germanic peoples. Colonization does not mean annihilation. In the case of colonization, a new culture grows on the roots of the old one. However, for some time, old cultures could be awoken. According to Nietzsche, an anti-Christian noble spirit, the noble Celtic perception of the world was reviled in the writings of Voltaire. Today it is very popular to use the term “infection” for the description of new colonizations by fashion, popular symbols, styles of life or forms of behaviour. Economic subculturalization presupposes the development of the s
