Mentre il concetto di identità culturale è usato - e abusato - dai politici nella vita quotidiana, ma anche oggetto di riflessioni e ricerche in ambito umanistico, sembra ancora utile e necessario chiarirne il significato, tanto in senso logico quanto dal punto di vista della teoria politica. Questo permette di spiegare perché l'identità culturale sembra essere così attraente, che cosa essa ha in comune con l'identità nazionale e quali sono le differenze. Inoltre, dobbiamo vedere quali diritti culturali dovrebbero essere accettati nelle società moderne e perché i diritti di gruppo per le cosiddette minoranze culturali dovrebbero essere gestiti in modo restrittivo.
Esiste un diritto all’identità culturale?

Abstract
While the concept of cultural identity is used – and abused – by politicians in daily life, but also subject of reflections and research in humanities, it still seems useful and necessary to clarify its meaning, in a logical sense as well as from the point of view of political theory. This allows to explain why cultural identity seems to be so attractive, what cultural identity has in common with national identity and what the differences are. Furthermore, we have to see which cultural rights should be accepted in modern societies and why group rights for so-called cultural minorities should be handled restrictively.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
