Descripción
Sumario:From the perspective of the international circulation of ideas, this article presents an analysis of the social conditions that made possible the transnational circulation of the concept of cultural diversity among different agents and structures (international entities, National States and professional cultural associations). Through this circulation, the concept has accumulated a symbolic capital, which has been taken up and reinvested by some sections of Chile’s cultural world in order to rehabilitate culture as a category of public intervention. Translated into Chile’s reality, the cause of cultural diversity responds to dynamics that can only be understood considering a structural homology of positions between varieties of agents situated at different levels. At an international level, ideas do not circulate independently; they are structured within a space of possibilities that exist at a national level. From this view, we will show how the mobilization of independent publishers was a determining factor in the adoption of the principle of cultural diversity in Chile.
