Discourse on Alterity in Multicultural Context. The Canadian Case.
Main Article Content
Abstract
Official discourse and policies on multiculturalism and on the use of languages do not inhibit individual interpretation of diversity, which is often unconscious. The existence of these policies contributes to changing mentalities in this regard. We cannot help but be pleased that the desire of living in harmony in a multicultural society translates into a set of laws and policies. However, the fear of the other, of the stranger, continues to operate at an unconscious level. Our study deals with the discourse on alterity and the perception of difficulties in intercultural communication. It was led in Canada, France, Israel and India. The study is based on 80 semi-guided interviews with managers and employees. This article presents some results from Canadian data.
