SORU:

How does Slovaj Zizek define “multiculturalism”?


CEVAP:

 Slovaj Zizek defines multiculturalism as an upside-down and silent form of distant racism: "respecting" the identity of the other, conceiving the other as an "authentic" closed community against which the multiculturalist maintains a distance made possible by his/her privileged universal position. Multiculturalism's respect for the specific differences of the other is the most direct way to show his/her own superiority. The background and roots of a particular culture, which sustains the universal position of multiculturalism, is not the "truth" of this position, hidden behind the mask of universality. It is the simple explanation of certain roots, hiding the fact that the subject is already completely "without roots" and that its true position is in the emptiness of universality.
