Radicalizzazione e pluralismo : spunti per una concezione critica

This essay aims at delving into the relationship between pluralism and radicalization, by examining the need to "situate" the pluralistic instance, as well as to promote its value as both a political-legal principle and a theoretical option. In this perspective, radicalization emerges as an articulated and complex process which can be conceived regardless of social integration and assimilationist or Islamophobic logics. As a matter of fact, it leads back to discrimination and marginalization and its matrix can be identified in the polarization of ideas, horizons and cultures within reciprocal and relational dynamics. With regard to a pluralistic approach, dealing with the Canadian case, the article focuses on the relevance of accommodation and on the way in which its restriction plays a role in the field of the securitarian anti-terroristic policies.
