Sažetak
Difference, diversity, pluralism, migration, multiculturalism – these are some of the most debated and contested terms of our time. Since we are living in a period marked by the economic and political changes which emerged after September 11, a call for a new analysis of heterogeneity, cultural difference and issues of belonging is not surprising. What implications do the ‘international war on terror’ and ‘global economic crisis’ have on public policies related to ‘culture’ and their representations in media? How are these new circumstances related to a growing resurgence and intensification of racism and nationalism? By analysing two different concepts of ‘diversity’ (Australia – national multiculturalism ; and the European Union – supra-national ‘unity of difference’ with focus on Germany’s cultural politics of cosmopolitanism and tolerance) this paper explores theoretical and political aspects of the problematics constituted by such questions. Our aim is to examine the specificities of historical conjunctures that necessitate these different versions of ‘diversity’ and to analyse the discursive space of intersectionality within their ways of responding to the contemporary global issues. To achieve this, for the purpose of this paper, we focus on media policies related to tolerance issues (‘culturalization of politics’ – Wendy Brown 2014) through analysis of German association of public broadcasters ARD’s Campaign ‘Tolerance’ and SBS Campaign ‘Face up to racism’ in Australia.
