Description:
Diversity has always been a defining characteristic of human
societies. Historically, ‘Man’ has been inclined towards ‘difference’,
be it racial, ethnic, or religious. This has resulted in a constant
enriching cultural move (Harari, 2011; Graeber and Wengrow, 2021). In
today’s world, diversity has become endemic in human life.
Theoreticians like Derrida, Habermas, Geertz and others have broadened
this concern to include political, economic, and social dimensions.
In the context of non-Western geographies, histories, and cultures,
theorists related to or working within Postcolonial thought have
troubled the penchant for social, intellectual, and cultural
Eurocentric uniformity. Victor Segalen’s aesthetics of diversity, Homi
Bhabha’s third space, Édouard Glissant’s poetics of relation and
creolisation, and Bhikhu Parekh’s multiculturalism have laid the
groundwork for non-hegemonic and non-assimilationist inscriptions of
diversity and difference in contemporary thought and culture. These
theorists and critics, among others, have brought human diversity to
centre stage and chanted a choir of praise for cultural diversity in a
world where hegemonic cultural economics exerts coercion to maintain
the status quo.
