In contemporary societies, identities are believed to be more fluid, less easily definable, demanding new articulations and new dialogues. However, some communities seem unable to engage in a dialogue traversing cultural borders and fostering the appreciation of diversity as the cornerstone of a more just and humane world. Is intercultural exchange truly possible in societies riddled with tensions of every sort? Multicultural and intercultural interactions may have given us the opportunity to enrich our understanding of the other, but they have also posed new challenges for education practices and educational politics. This collection of studies addresses some of the challenges posed by diversity and inequality in the construction of inclusive societies.
O texto épico da nacionalidade finlandesa surgiu pela primeira vez em 1835, fruto da recolha de cantigas da tradição oral feita por Elias Lönnrot na região da Carélia. O desejo do médico e folclorista era construir e dar a conhecer uma epopeia nacional tão grandiosa quanto eram a Odisseia, o ciclo germânico dos Nibelungos ou Os Lusíadas - no seu esforço, pretendia servir a ideia de uma nação finlandesa, gerida alternadamente por governos suecos e russos. A versão de 1849, considerada definitiva, ainda hoje por todo o mundo serve de base ao estudo da literatura e da cultura finlandesas. Nos 50 Cantos que constituem o poema épico, desenrolam-se histórias de heróis valorosos, cantores exímios, poetas que emocionam até as pedras e guerreiros cujo fervor pelo combate os faz perigar nas guerras do amor.

`The book is easy to use and its layout demonstrates some skill in constructing volumes that `work' as study guides and reference tools. The merit of this book goes well beyond its suitability for course applications. Contemporary ideas on identity provide new meanings for an old concept' - Multilingual and Multicultura In recent years, identity and difference have been the focus of key debates in cultural studies. This broad-ranging book examines the challenge of these debates and outlines their applications to central questions of gender, sexuality, embodiment, health, `race' and nation.
