This article underscores the ethno-cultural diversity present in society, particularly in its social dynamics and forms of artistic expression. It thereby addresses the ethnic dimension of social relationships, given that encounters with the Other (and the Other's so-called cultural differences) evoke both fascination and fear. Why ? Because culture is not neutral in and of itself, but results from the conjugation of power relationships imposed by the dominant class that controls the development mechanisms of the economy, the media, mass culture and art, etc. To put it succinctly, “managing” differences is as much a function of systemic determinants as of perceptual phenomena generated by the combined results of the confrontation between fascination and fear of the Other. In conclusion, the article proposes some avenues of thought for social and cultural practices.
