In order to achieve this objective, the work approaches the urban public school examining some of the contradictions that show up when it deals with the culture of the subjects that are part of it, namely the urban Indians belonging to the Sateré-Mawé ethnic group dwelling in Manaus. It also presents analysis on the challenges that the indigenous children face and on how this situation can be noticed throughout the practices and discourses in the urban school context. This research is based on theoretical presuppositions anchored in the notions of culture, cultural diversity, multiculturalism, interculturalism, and their relation with the teaching practice. The methodology through which the objective is sought stems from a qualitative approach to point out research alternatives that can respond to the guiding questions of the research. It makes use of semistructured interviews with the students, the teachers, the pedagogue, and the director in a public school to capture the meanings present in their discourses. In addition, as an ethnographic research, this work starts from the observation of the subjects in their pedagogic relations, more specifically the indigenous children, and of the feelings they have towards a world so culturally different from theirs. To do so, it has been used the technique of collective interview using the child story The skunk that could not smile in order to get 10-to-17-year-old fourth graders involved in the approach on differences, similarities and alterity, as well as in showing their way of making sense of the world. Information on the indigenous culture/urban school culture relation and among the different subjects in the school arena (indigenous and nonindigenous teachers and students), mediated by different cultures, allows us to reflect on the so-called plural school, a school that indeed makes these plural theoretical concept invisible in its day-by-day practices. The work ends with the proposal of educational, social and cultural adjustments in the existent school system as a way to reduce discrimination and to make of the differences present in diversity the meaning of individual and collective subject construction, using as a reference the Political and Pedagogical Plan of the school. The collective construction and execution of the Plan must be the possibility of reflecting on the practices, taking into account the possible intercultural perspective in each school context, starting from the conflict posed by the differences as an opportunity for a fairer society. / O trabalho de pesquisa cujo tema A criança Indígena na Escola Urbana: desafio intercultural tem como objetivo verificar como a escola pública urbana de Manaus trata os seus alunos indígenas e como esses alunos percebem a imagem do índio difundida nas práticas docentes, discentes e das demais pessoas que compõem o espaço educacional. Para isso, faz uma abordagem sobre a Escola pública urbana, evidenciando algumas das suas contradições presentes no tratamento das culturas dos sujeitos que dela participam, em particular, os índios citadinos da etnia Sateré-Mawé, que residem na cidade de Manaus. Apresenta algumas reflexões sobre os desafios que as crianças indígenas enfrentam e a forma como isso se constata nos discursos e nas práticas veiculadas no contexto escolar urbano. Utiliza pressupostos teóricos partindo das concepções de cultura, diversidade cultural, multiculturalismo, interculturalismo e sua relação com as práticas docentes. A metodologia utilizada para alcançar os objetivos, parte de uma abordagem qualitativa, na tentativa de apontar alternativas de investigação que atendam à problemática expressa nas questões norteadoras, utilizando entrevistas semi-estruturadas com alunos, professoras, pedagoga e diretora de uma escola pública, bem como os sentidos expressos nos seus discursos. Mas, sobretudo, como pesquisa de natureza etnográfica, parte da observação dos sujeitos em suas relações pedagógicas, particularmente as crianças indígenas e o sentimento que externam frente a este mundo diferente da cultura a qual pertencem. Para isso, experiencia entrevista coletiva com a utilização da história infantil O Gambá que não sabia sorrir , como tentativa de envolver alunos da 4ª série na faixa etária de 10 a 17 anos, através do universo lúdico, para a abordagem sobre a diferença, igualdade e alteridade, bem como a sua forma de ver e sentir-se no mundo. As informações sobre a relação cultura indígena/ cultura escolar urbana; relações entre os diversos sujeitos da Escola, entre professoras e alunos índios e não índios, mediadas pelas diferentes culturas, proporcionam uma reflexão sobre a escola plural que sempre existiu, mas que torna essa realidade invisível nas práticas pedagógicas. Finaliza com uma proposta de adequação da escola que está posta (educacional, social e culturalmente), como forma de minimizar a discriminação e fazer da diferença presente na diversidade o sentido da construção individual e coletiva de sujeitos, apontando como referência de articulação o Projeto Político Pedagógico de escola. A construção coletiva e a execução deste projeto são apontadas como a possibilidade de uma reflexão sobre a prática, considerando a perspectiva intercultural possível em cada contexto escolar, partindo do conflito entre as diferenças como oportunidade para a construção de uma sociedade mais justa.

O interculturalismo transita entre posicionamentos teóricos distintos para discorrer sobre nossa herança cultural, traçando uma análise que comporta uma teoria mais combativa de revisão das origens das hierarquias sociais e culturais vigentes e uma teoria mais conciliadora que enfatiza o processo cultural de hibridização e destaca uma necessidade de trabalhar culturas e sujeitos culturais diferentes. A política intercultural responde a uma necessidade das formações culturais modernas, cujo hibridismo cultural, associado aos incessantes câmbios de mercadorias e pessoas, conduz à criação de novas parcerias a partir de políticas negociativas. Para pensar o conceito como práxis social, utilizar--se-ão as obras A jangada de pedra, A caverna, Ensaio sobre a cegueira e Ensaio sobre a lucidez, de José Saramago. Nessa leitura, ressaltar-se-á a performance metafórica do viajante e do narrador como representações de práticas interculturais nos contextos nacional e internacional, em terra e no além-mar. As duas figuras contribuirão para discutir o discurso identitário cultural a partir dos cruzamentos entre o deslocamento e a fixidez, o universalismo e o particularismo, o estrangeiro e o familiar, a alteridade e a identidade. Isto posto, o interculturalismo busca no viajante seu dinamismo e flexibilidade para se adaptar e assimilar o novo e no narrador sua capacidade de compilar tais informações e realizações culturais com a tradição, com os saberes locais, com o interior e com o familiar, ou seja, ambos contribuem para a criação de espaços culturais fluidos em que o princípio da negociação e da hospitalidade devem estar presentes. Por fim, a política intercultural destaca a importância de incentivar a participação ativa do sujeito sobre seus bens e valores culturais, de forma que contesta o uso de políticas culturais que provocam alienação e dependência e que, consequentemente, continuam a produzir registros de relações culturais desiguais e de inospitalidades. Para tanto, ao mesmo tempo em que o sujeito deve estar respaldado por direitos, deve estar igualmente acompanhado de deveres, palavras que se complementam para traduzir os sentidos de justiça e dignidade para a relação homens e culturas. / This thesis aims to develop the study of a new cultural politics and new cultural practices based on a critical dialog between José Saramago and the interculturalism theory, which play a political posture that occupies itself with the cultural interchanges and with the formation of participating partnership. The interculturalism circulates among distinct theoretical positions to debate our cultural inheritance, tracing an analysis that comprises a more combating revision theory of the origins of the current social and cultural hierarchies and a more conciliating theory that emphasizes the hybridization cultural process and detaches a necessity of working different cultures and different cultural subjects. The intercultural politics answers to a necessity of the modern cultural formations, whose cultural hybridism, associated to the incessant goods and people exchanges, conducts to the creation of new partnerships from negotiating politics. To think the concept as social praxis, it will be utilized The raft of stone (A jangada de pedra), The cave (A caverna), Essay about the blindness (Ensaio sobre a cegueira) e Essay about the lucidity (Ensaio sobre a lucidez), by José Saramago. In this reading, it will be brought out the traveler’s and narrator’s metaphorical performance as representations of intercultural practices in the national and international contexts, overland or overseas. The two figures will contribute to discuss the cultural identitary discourse from the intersections between the displacement and the fixity, the universalism and the particularism, the foreigner and the familiar, the alterity and the identity. Therefore, the interculturalism searches the traveler its dynamism and flexibility to be adapted and to assimilate the novelty and the narrator its capability for compiling such information and cultural realizations with the tradition, with the local knowledge, with the interior and the familiar, it means, both contribute to the creation of more floated cultural spaces in which the principle of negotiation and hospitality may be present. Finally, the intercultural politics detaches the importance of encouraging the subject’s active participation over its cultural properties and values, in order to contest the use of cultural politics that provoke alienation and dependence and that, consequently, continue to produce registers of unequal cultural relations and inospitalities. For that, at the same time that the subject should be supported by rights, should be equally followed by duties, words that complement themselves to translate the meanings of justice and dignity for the humans-cultures relation.

La construction identitaire de l’adolescent est influencée par le contexte dans lequel il vit ; dans le cas de l’Ile Maurice, ce contexte est caractérisé par la présence officielle d’une catégorisation communautaire. Celle-ci amène les mauriciens à devoir se désigner comme membres de l’une des quatre communautés prescrites, ce qui devient problématique dans la construction identitaire, particulièrement pour les adolescents car ils sont dans une période déterminante dans leur développement. Nous avons voulu mesurer le degré d’influence du contexte multiculturel sur leur construction identitaire. Notre méthodologie nous a permis de constater la présence du communalisme dès le pré-test, et elle a été confirmée autant dans l’étude quantitative que qualitative. Nous avons pu mettre en évidence qu’un communalisme exacerbé conduit à une forte identité sociale, et ceci, au détriment de l’identité personnelle. En effet, nos résultats indiquent que l’existence des communautés contribue à faire que les sujets préfèrent leur groupe d’appartenance et ont des stéréotypes négatifs à l’égard des autres communautés. De plus, nous avons trouvé que l’appartenance communautaire est liée à l’identité sociale, composée essentiellement de l’appartenance religieuse, l’apparence physique et la classe sociale. D’autre part, nous avons constaté chez nos sujets une opposition entre un vécu interculturel interne et une identité sociale prescrite. Nous concluons à une remise en cause de l’existence officielle des communautés à Maurice, basée sur les résultats de notre recherche et nous proposons plus d’ouverture vers une éducation interculturelle et vers une valorisation de l’identité personnelle. / The identity construction of the adolescent is influenced by his living context; in the case of Mauritius, this context is caracterised by the official presence of categorization of communities. This presence induces mauritians to have the obligation to identify themselves to one of the four prescribed communities, which leads to a problematic identity construction, particularly for adolescents as they are in a developmental period which is determinant. As from the study of mauritians reaching the end of adolescents, we have measured the degree of influence of the multicultural context on the identity construction. Our methodology has allowed us to notice the presence of communalism as from the stage of pretest and it has been confirmed in the quantitative as well as the qualitative analysis. We have been able to prove that an overreacted communalism leads to a high social identity, leading in counterpart to less importance regarding the personal part of identity. In fact, our results indicate that the existence of communities contributes in making our participants prefer the community to which they belong and they have negative stereotypes towards other communities. In addition to this, we have found that belonging to a community is directly linked to social identity, which is essentially comprised of religious belonging, physical appearance and social class. Furthermore, we have noticed that our participants have an intercultural inner living which is opposed to the prescribed social identity. We arrive to the conclusion that the official existence of communities in Mauritius should be reviewed, based on the results of our research and we propose more implications in intercultural education and towards the promotion of personal identity

This dissertation documents a critical-ethnographic-action-research (CEAR) project conducted in two elementary schools in Oaxaca, Mexico, with the collaboration of one language teacher educator and ten language student teachers. The two schools have a diverse student body composed of mestizo children and children from different Indigenous groups. The CEAR Project challenged historical and societal ideologies that position Indigenous children as deficient learners and their translanguaging and multiliteracies practices as inappropriate for schools. The CEAR Project was also a response to a world phenomenon that associates English with “development” and economic success and Indigenous and “minoritized” languages with backwardness marginalization. The CEAR Project’s purpose was to use the student teachers’ English language praxicum in order to: (a) develop elementary school teaching expertise, (b) co-construct affirming identities among all the participants, (c) foster multilingual, multiliteracies, and intercultural practices, and (d) dialogue with the children in order to change pejorative ideologies that regard certain languages, literacies, and cultures as better than others. The Transformative Multiliteracies Pedagogy developed by Cummins (in press) and critical pedagogies theory (Freire, 1970; Norton & Toohey, 2004) informed the CEAR Project and the data collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and children’s work samples. Using narrative, photos, and videos, this dissertation presents the migratory lives, the families, and the language and literacy practices of 50 children, and their views regarding the English language and Indigenous languages and peoples. It portrays the vivid critical moments and changes that occurred in the praxicum as the children became teachers and linguists. Through the construction of identity texts and the translanguaging and multiliteracies practices that the student teachers and the children engaged in, stories emerge that portray them as the intelligent, creative, and genuine individuals that they really are. This dissertation also documents how the children’s complex lives challenged constructs such as “family” and “Indigenous,” and the new Mexican educational policy that brings English into public elementary schools using a generic English software. It is concluded that every policy, theory, social construct, pedagogy, and curriculum should be challenged on a daily basis if we are truly to serve the ever-evolving diverse classrooms of today.

Syftet med föreliggande studie är att belysa hur pedagoger tänker kring och arbetar med genus på fritidshemmet. Frågeställningarna behandlar även hur genusordningen på skolan och skolkulturen påverkar verksamheten ur ett genusperspektiv. Som empirisk grund för arbetet har vi gjort fyra kvalitativa intervjuer med pedagoger som arbetar på fritidshemmet på två mångkulturella skolor i Stockholm samt på en svensk skola i ett spansktalande land. Med hjälp av genusteoretiska perspektiv visar resultatet av studien att pedagoger på fritidshemmet tänker och arbetar olika med genus i verksamheten. Vi har sett exempel på att pedagoger bidrar till upprätthållandet av stereotypa könsdefinitioner genom att till exempel tala om flickor och pojkar som två olika enhetliga grupper. I resultatet har vi även sett hur pedagoger kan möjliggöra elevers identitetsskapande genom att inte göra skillnad på elever grundat på föreställningar om kön. Det har också framgått att det råder olika kulturer på varje skola och gemensamt för alla tre skolor i undersökningen är att skolkulturen påverkar hur pedagoger tänker kring och arbetar med genus i verksamheten. / The purpose of this study is to illustrate how educators relate to gender in after-school programs and how school culture affects educators and students. Our questions also deal with gender order in school and how cultural factors affect the gender perspective in after-school programs. As empirical basis for our study we did four qualitative interviews with educators at two multicultural schools in Stockholm and one Swedish school in a Spanish-speaking country. The results of the study show that the educators at the after-school programs relate different to the students in school from a gender perspective. We have seen examples of educators maintaining stereotyped gender definitions by talking about girls and boys as two different uniform groups. The results also show how educators can create possibilities for students to find different identities by not making any differences between the students based on gender. It has also emerged that there are different cultures at each school and common to all three schools in the survey is that the school culture affects how educators think about and work with gender.

L’accommodement raisonnable, perçu de manière erronée comme un outil octroyant des privilèges particuliers aux communautés ethno religieuses, fût la source d’une atmosphère de malaise social au sein de la communauté québécoise. Face à une immigration récente non occidentale, ayant fortement contribué à la modification du paysage sociétal québécois, un désarroi populaire transformé en « la crise des accommodements » (2006-2007), s’est emparée soudainement d’une partie de la population canadienne – française. Plusieurs questions fondamentales relatives au droit à l’égalité se posent : comment préserver l’identité québécoise si chacun veut faire valoir sa propre culture et religion ? Mais aussi, n’avons-nous pas lutté pour que les droits fondamentaux soient assurés pour tous ? Ce mémoire montre que l’accommodement raisonnable, loin de privilégier les minorités religieuses, est un moyen juridique permettant à tous les citoyens d’accéder à l’égalité et de vivre sans subir de discrimination. La liberté de religion faisant partie des droits fondamentaux garantis par les chartes canadienne et québécoise, doit être protégée en tant que telle. L’accommodement raisonnable révèle une autre dimension de sa fonction : une contribution fondamentale à la réflexion collective sur le vivre - ensemble social, vecteur de l’évolution sociétale. Un équilibre peut être atteint entre les exigences d’un État neutre et le respect des libertés individuelles fondamentales. Ainsi, les choix de la laïcité ouverte et de l’interculturalisme s’inscrivent harmonieusement dans l’esprit des autres valeurs de la société québécoise, laquelle est marquée de part son histoire par des valeurs laïques respectueuses de la diversité culturelle et religieuse. / The concept of reasonable accommodation, erroneously perceived as a means for ethnic and religious minorities to enjoy special privileges, has plunged Quebec society in social unrest. Indeed, recent years non-western-based immigration contributed to changing Quebec society ethnic mix, leading to important social concerns by Quebecers of French Canadian descent and ultimately to the “accommodations crisis” (2006-2007). Such social crisis raises numerous questions: How can we live together with a common identity when each one of us defends his/her religion? And also: have we not fought for those rights to be guaranteed for every person? Far from privileging minority groups, reasonable accommodations are a flexible judicial tool allowing all citizens access to equality and protection against discrimination. As religion is only one of several motives for discrimination, it is erroneous to believe that reasonable accommodations solely concern religious and cultural matter. Nonetheless, religious freedom, a fundamental right guaranteed by the Canada and Quebec charters, should be protected as such. Reasonable accommodations reveal another benefit: they are a key contribution to collective thinking regarding social coexistence and living together, a means to manage Quebec’s pluralism and to facilitate minority integration. But how to accommodate religious minorities while preserving Quebec’s identity, characterized by secular values? Our analysis shows that a balance between neutral state requirements and fundamental individual rights can be reached. Specifically, Quebec’s open secularity and interculturalism, are choices harmoniously blended in other social values: they call for the integration of cultural minorities into society through a common set of cultural values.

The purpose of the thesis is to gain knowledge about how preschool teachers talk about the handling of children's ethnic differences circle time. In order to collect data, qualitative interviews with preschool teachers at five different pre-schools in the Stockholm area have been selected. In the result analyzed with discourse analysis as applied and through Laclau and Mouffe's discourse theory, eight different concepts (characters) emerged which preschool teachers use when talking about children's ethnic differences. The result shows which discourses are actualized when preschool teachers talk about children's ethnic differences. Within the various discourses it emerges that preschool teachers talk about differences by using the concepts of differences, language, culture, ethnicity, interculturalism, justice, identity and equal value. Some of the preschool teachers talk about the concept of ethnic differences as a possible exclusion of children's equal value, which means that they instead want to talk about similarities. What has emerged from the study is that the concept of ethnic differences can be replaced by ethnic diversity in order to enable another meaning which also covers everyone's equal value. / Uppsatsens syfte är att få kunskap om hur förskollärarna talar om hanteringen av barns etniska olikheter under samling. För att samla in data har kvalitativa intervjuer med förskollärare vid fem olika förskolor i Stockholmsområdet genomförts. I resultatet som analyserats med diskursanalys som ansats och genom Laclau och Mouffes diskursteori framkom åtta olika begrepp (tecken) vilka förskollärare använder sig av när de talar om barns etniska olikheter. Resultatet visar vilka diskurser som aktualiseras när förskollärarnas talar om barns etniska olikheter. Inom de olika diskurserna framkommer att förskollärarna pratar kring olikheter genom att använda begreppen olikheter, språk, kultur, etnicitet, interkulturalitet, rättvisa, identitet och lika värde. Några av förskollärarna talar kring begreppet etniska olikheter som ett möjligt uteslutande av barns lika värde vilket leder till att de istället vill prata om likheter. Det som framkommit i studien är att begreppet etniska olikheter kan ersättas av etnisk mångfaldför att möjliggöra en annan innebörd vilken även omfattar allas lika värde.

Esta tese, desenvolvida no âmbito do Grupo de Etnologia Urbana do Núcleo de Antropologia Urbana da USP discute os enredamentos entre educação, cidade e política a partir das experiências sateré-mawé com Ensino Superior. O trabalho é desenvolvido a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental, entrevistas e, principalmente, da etnografia desenvolvida individualmente e junto a outros pesquisadores do GEU, cuja coparticipação deu-se em campo e na produção de cadernos de campo coletivos. Esta etnografia centra-se na cidade de Parintins-AM (médio-baixo Amazonas), na turma de Parintins do curso de Pedagogia Intercultural (2009 e 2014) oferecido pela Universidade do Estado do Amazonas UEA, e nas circulações dos acadêmicos indígenas Sateré-Mawé e suas práticas por entre as cidades e as aldeias da Terra Indígena Andirá-Marau, sobretudo a aldeia Ponta Alegre. Ao longo dos cinco capítulos, a etnografia desenvolvida entre os Sateré-Mawé é apresentada face a discussões sobre modelos analíticos da antropologia acerca de objetos como cidade, cultura e interculturalidade, redes de saberes, ensino superior indígena, estado, política dos e para indígenas e festas. Exploro as conexões parciais engendradas pela presença de acadêmicos sateré-mawé na universidade e sua circulação por instituições (escolas, secretarias, etc.), práticas (ensino, política, lazer), eventos (feiras escolares, eventos acadêmicos, rituais, futebol) e modos de conhecimento e enunciação. Apresento reflexões que emergiram na interlocução com os Sateré-Mawé acerca das relações engendradas pelo dispositivo da interculturalidade, como suas interpretações do Festival Folclórico do Boi Bumbá, principal atividade econômica de Parintins; e da proposta de uma Livre Academia do Wará, a universidade indígena proposta pelo Consórcio de Produtores Sateré-Mawé. Discuto como enquadram seus intuitos de ter uma \"educação dos brancos\" em suas cosmopolíticas face ao mito do Imperador, o sistema de conhecimento do guaraná e a Festa da Tucandeira. O Imperador é um demiurgo relacionado a eventos históricos e à habilidade sateré-mawé de pacificar e canalizar potências dos brancos, agora situadas nos currículos e diplomas universitários. Os Sateré-Mawé são \"filhos do Guaraná\", uma planta professora que transforma o ethos guerreiro no uso diplomático de \"boas palavras\", necessárias à formação do bom professor. Os cantos da Tucandeira, festa mais conhecida dos Sateré-Mawé, trazem as Sehay Pooti (boas palavras) ensinando os jovens que dançam suportando a dor da luva de formigas. Mais do que diacríticos de uma identidade indígena, estes mitos e ritos formam um complexo sistema de saberes que delineiam as compreensões Sateré-Mawé sobre suas agências na contemporaneidade. / This thesis was carried out within the scope of the Group of Urban Ethnology of the Centre of Urban Anthropology (USP), discussing the intertwining of education, city and politics from Sateré-Mawés experiences with Higher Education. This work is based on bibliographic, documental research, interviews and, mainly, on the ethnography carried out individually and together with other GEU researchers, which co-participation occurred on the field as well as producing collective field reports. The ethnography focus on the city of Parintins AM (lower Amazon River), on the Parintins Intercultural Pedagogy class (2009-2014) from the University of the State of Amazonas UEA, and their practices between the cities and villages from Andirá-Marau Indigenous Land, mainly the village of Ponta Alegre. Along its five chapters, the ethnography carried out among the Sateré-MAwé is presented in face of discussions about anthropological analytical models of subjects such as city, culture and interculturality, knowledge networks, indigenous higher education, state, politics from and concerning indigenous peoples and festivities. I explore the partial connections engendered by the presence of Sateré-Mawé academics at the university and their circulation between institutions (schools, public offices, etc.), practices (teaching, politics, leisure), events (school fairs, academic events, festivities, soccer) and modes of knowledge and enunciation. I present reflections that had emerged in the dialogue with Sateré-Mawé about the relations engendered by the device of interculturalism, such as their interpretations of the Boi Bumbá Folkloric Festival, the major economic activity in Parintins; and of the project of a Wará Free Academy, the indigenous university proposed by the Sateré-Mawé Producer Consortium. I discuss how they frame their goals of getting a white people education in their cosmopolitics, regarding the Emperors Myth, the guarana system of knowledge and the Tucandeira Dance. The Emperor is a character related to historic events and to the sateré-mawé ability of pacifying and channel whites potencies, now placed on university curriculum and diplomas. The Sateré-Mawé are children of guarana, a teacher plant that turns the warrior ethos into the diplomatic use of good words, necessary to the teachers formation. The chants of Tucandeira, the most known festivity of the Sateré-Mawé, brings the sehay pooty (good words), teaching the dancing youth that bears the pain of the ant gloves. More than diacritics of an indigenous identity, those myths and rites form a complex system of knowledges that outline the Sateré-Mawé understandings of their agencies in the contemporaneity.

It will defend that, in the legal pluralistic universe, the human rights must be conceived by an intercultural paradigm, in order to overcome the debate about cultural universalism vs. relativism. Firstly, it aims to understand how a new theory of law, which allows the participation of new actors in the global scenario, can present itself as counter-hegemonic. Then, it will try to observe in which moment and in which political context the concept of global civil society starts to appear more frequently, with a view of identifying the historical conditions that enabled the creation and reproduction of different speeches on it. Finally, after having presented the thesis on interculturalism, it will highlight the relevant aspects connected to the participation of the civil society before the United Nations, bringing the empirical experience of the Committee on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women / Este trabalho objetiva analisar o papel da chamada sociedade civil global nas instituições internacionais para a construção dos direitos humanos interculturalmente compreendidos. Defenderá que, dentro do universo do pluralismo jurídico, os direitos humanos devem ser concebidos através de um paradigma intercultural, a fim de superar o debate universalismo x relativismo cultural. Em primeiro lugar, visará entender em que sentido uma nova concepção de direito, que permita a participação de novos atores no cenário mundial, poderá se apresentar como contra-hegemônica. Em seguida, procurará observar em que momento e em que contexto político o conceito de sociedade civil global começa a surgir com mais freqüência, almejando identificar as condições históricas que possibilitaram a criação e a reprodução de diferentes discursos a seu respeito. Por fim, após apresentar as teses do interculturalismo, traçará um quadro sobre aspectos relevantes ligados à participação da sociedade civil na Organização das Nações Unidas, trazendo como estudo de caso a experiência empírica do Comitê da Convenção Sobre a Eliminação de todas as formas de Discriminação contra a Mulher
