• More questions. Societies encompass at least two analytical ordering modes: economic and cultural. How they relate?– Are they institutionally differentiate or fused?– The class structure and the status hierarchy diverge or

coincide? – Do malditribution and misrecognition convert each other?

Indigenous people

The UN declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People provides that they “have the right to self-determination”.

Autonomy or self-government in which matters?

Control over their institutions and State should obtain their consent before adopting measures that may affect them

Indigenous people some concepts

• Multiculturalism: acknowledge the existence of several cultural groups without necessarily looking at the power relations between them.

• Interculturalism: focus on revert current power structures and focus on equity

Page 16: Redist vs recog & gender

Multiculturalism Debate

• Multiculturalism: positive view of group differences and group identities

Is cultural pluralism a value in its own or its value drives from improving the shared existence?

Many cultures, one humanity?

Page 17: Redist vs recog & gender

Interculturalism Debate

• How to fulfill the right to diversity and equity?

• How to solve tension within indigenous people and other minorities and the rest of society?
