Interkultur

Whether as a theoretical concept or as a polemical formula, the term multiculturalism has long dominated the debate about immigration society. It was envisioned as a neighborhood festival with sausages, falafel, and cevapcici as a casual and tolerant coexistence. However, authors and directors like Vladimir Kaminer and Fatih Akin no longer want to be reduced to their origins and have changed the perceptions of German culture. Therefore, as Mark Terkessidis argues, the old concepts should be transcended. He advocates for a radical intercultural opening. All institutions must be examined to ensure that they truly provide individuals, regardless of their background, with the same opportunities for participation. Only in this way can the potentials of a diverse society be effectively harnessed.
