Interculturality and Globalisation: The Challenge of a Poetics of Solidarity

Abstract

This article questions the way of producing solidarity among different and distant actors in the age of globalisation. Following a brief review of its traditional forms and current limitations, the text critically explores certain contemporary proposals and puts forward a general model. Through the ability to establish a comprehensive impact regarding certain individual proofs, the intellectual bases of solidarity should be established. It is a model which opens up an intercultural research programme with a political will.
