Toward a Relational Society; Thinking Multiculturalism Differently

Abstract

This thesis deals with the issues that come with multicultural politics and cultural identity. Taking theories on difference from Gilles Deleuze as a starting point, the aim is to further develop multiculturalism and as such move beyond oppositions between sameness and difference, finally resulting in a more relational society. This thesis provides new ways of thinking, and new perspectives on multiculturalism, cultural identity and society.
