Il dibattito, mai sopito, intorno al termine "multiculturalismo" si articola non meramente in sede filosofica. Come è stato da più parti rilevato, "multiculturalismo" si 'dice' in molti modi, ne esistono diverse accezioni, non solo differenti ma – alla prova delle conseguenze politiche che da essi sono fatte discendere – non di rado divergenti . Non possiamo assolutamente permetterci di essere ingenui sulle parole, e per motivi che rimandano a certe caratteristiche, di diffusione policentrica e di imprevedibilità rispetto alla risonanza dei codici comunicativi e dei rispettivi messaggi, che sono ormai costitutive delle nostre società; a maggior ragione non lo possiamo rispetto a 'questa' parola, che più di altre è densa, polivalente ed 'incombente' per le sue implicazioni socio-politiche. L'intero percorso di questi anni, tratteggiato in questo saggio, e che è stato compiuto dagli studiosi/e di multiculturalismo, oltre ad essere stato una risposta alle sfide della coesistenza, ha configurato anche una sfida alla conoscenza. Per 'sfida della conoscenza' si intende la complessità e la messa in discussione di molti fattori disciplinari, entro le scienze che si occupano oggi del tema della convivenza di gruppi differenti entro una medesima società politica, sia esso ricompreso o meno sotto la voce multiculturalismo.

In so far as intercultural learning between the West and the Far East is concerned, two of the main research questions can be: How can we explain the development of parallel schemes of mythical narrative which have grown independently of each other but which are still consonant with each other? How can we give a proper account of their cultural and political value? We can do it by considering an alternative way of interpreting the existence of consonances between Chinese and Jews. This step could be fundamental in order to let us understand the condition of reciprocal tolerance. This goes together with the Chinese inconceivability of ideologies such as antisemitism. In China there has never been religious discrimination against Jews: moreover antisemitism is an unknown concept. The imaginary, along with adequate historical and social factors, can be considered as a powerful ally of those who support the reasons for coexistence. Key words- Imaginary, Mythologem, Chinese and Jews, Transcultural Myths

This paper analyses the role of the principle of secularism with respect to the consolidation of the democratic 'host' nations which confront themselves with other cultural and religious identities. The aim is pursued by a revisitation of the concept, in the light of the philosophy of ideas. The core of the argumentation is the following: both liberal and liberal-democratic western states are grounded on what contemporary scholars, proving true John Locke, call the subtle art of distinction among spheres and dimensions of individual and collective life. This must be reconsidered nowadays in order to tackle properly the struggle among groups whose specific symbolic internal cohesion is based on forms of religious identity.

Il saggio è una breve ricostruzione sistematica dell'apporto filosofico politico offerto da Charles Taylor al dibattito sul multiculturalismo, e, in particolare, alla politica del riconoscimento delle culture minoritarie; la nozione di identità come costruzione intersoggetiva, non priva di conflitti, del sé costituisce, con luci ed ombre, il nucleo teorico di tale contributo. Tale concetto di identità nasce dal pragmatismo e si trasforma nell'alveo dell'interazionismo simbolico offrendo fra l'altro le basi alla psicologia sociale contemporanea.

Public health measures, also known as non-pharmaceutical interventions, are basic actions aimed at slowing the community spread of a communicable disease outbreak. In the event of an influenza pandemic, public health measures and antiviral drugs are the only tools available to mitigate the effects of the pandemic during the months before a vaccine becomes available. The Canadian Pandemic Influenza Preparedness: Planning Guidance for the Health Sector (CPIP) outlines how federal, provincial and territorial governments will work together to ensure a coordinated and consistent health sector approach to pandemic influenza preparedness and response. This article summarizes Canada's pandemic public health measures strategy, as described in the recently updated CPIP Public Health Measures Annex. The strategy builds on lessons learned during the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. Key elements of the public health measures strategy include individual measures (e.g. hand hygiene, self-isolation when ill), community-based measures (e.g. school closures, cancellation of mass gatherings), management of cases and close contacts, travel and border-related actions and public education. Factors that influence the effectiveness of public health measures in a pandemic include the pandemic epidemiology, timing of implementation, how the measures are used (i.e. alone or in combination), the scalability and flexibility of public compliance. The CPIP is an evergreen guidance document and the Annex will be updated as new information warrants.
