Contexts and cultural identities in the 21st century in Canada

Abstract

Current cultural processes have looked at the formation, construction and transformation of identities. The disappearance of geographical frontiers and the encounter of several cultures in the same space force us to reformulate conceptsthat have started to change our vision about communication as well as relations among social groups and individuals in general. In a world where globalization turns into a catalyst of diverse movements and socio-cultural, historical and ideological processes, we focus on the analysis of the cultural identity of multicultural countries, such as Canada, taking into consideration its socio-cultural and situational contexts.
