The Meaning of the Concept in This Book
Cultural intermingling is presented as an interaction between cultures aimed at transforming conflictual relations into a creative dynamic. In this context, it is a positive alternative to exclusion, marginalization, and racism, and it is understood as a basis for a new conception of humanity and democracy.
Its Place in the Book’s Argument
The concept appears within an argument that defends the possibility of transforming the relationship between traditions and cultures from a rigid confrontation into an exchange that opens the way to human creativity. It is therefore linked to what the book shows: that creativity is not born of closure, but of the interaction of traditions, and that cultural adaptation requires intellectual training that broadens the horizon of understanding.
How It Works within the Atlas
Here, cultural intermingling is connected to three closely related pathways: human creativity is born from the interaction of traditions, cultural intermingling changes conflictual relations, and intellectual training produces cultural adaptation. Through this connection, the concept becomes a bridge between criticism of cultural conflict and the construction of a broader human horizon, one that does not merely describe plurality but makes it a source of shared action.
