Museen kultureller Vielfalt

Cultural otherness has long since arrived at the center of French society. Since 1980, the appropriate intercourse with cultural otherness has been discussed and »cultural diversity« promoted. Nadine Pippel traces how an analysis with a pluralistic understanding of francophone identity led to revision of the national identity construct. Furthermore, taking the example of two new Parisian museums, the Musée du quai Branly and the Cité nationale de l'histoire de l'immigration, Pippel outlines how how this analysis of French identity and cultural otherness has been condensed in museum representations.
