Why the Notion of "Cultural Configurations" Contributes to Understanding our Contemporary Worlds?

Do we live in a world with multiple cultures or where cultural differences have dissolved? How can we think the hetergoneity, inequality and power "within" each "culture"? Why "age of communication" is also an age of misunderstanding and new fundamentalisms? The concept of cultural configurations is a tool that can help us think about some of the dilemmas of the contemporary world, as Prof. Dr. Alejandro Grimson (Universidad Nacional de San Martín) will discuss in his lecture.
