#IRLScholarJuliaanVanAcker [Wikipedia] "In the United States, the United Kingdom and especially in France it is becoming increasingly clear that the multicultural society has no future. Several minority groups demand their rights, are hostile to the original culture of the host country and adhere to norms and values that are incompatible with those of the majority. In the United States, whites are gradually becoming the minority.
In a harmonious and peaceful society people feel connected to each other thanks to a common ethics, blood relationship, a shared history and traditions, a cultural heritage that our ancestors left behind." https://ministrando.org/a-meaningful-life/the-multicultural-society.html

Supplementary "Oikeiôsis, which can be translated as 'appropriation', is the idea that, in common with other animals, as we grow in awareness, we extend our concept of 'self' to include first our care-givers, and then other beings similar to us. We appropriate them into our sense of self and begin to have concern for them. The Stoics' ethical application of this insight is that we should increase the extent of our Oikeiôsis. The aim is to reduce, as far as is practicable, the gap between the concern that we show for 'self' and the concern that we show for the various categories of 'other'. Oikeiôsis was represented by Hierocles as a series of concentric circles, often now referred to as the Circles of Concern, with the Mind/Self at the centre, and the series of outer circles containing categories of people at increasing distance from the self. Hierocles' idea is that we should strive to draw each circle closer to the centre, treating members of a given circle like members of the immediate inward circle. For example, one should treat parents like one's own body, and treat uncles and aunts like parents, and so on. By drawing the circles towards the centre, we aim to increase the concern that we show for all of humankind. The idea is not, however, to treat everybody the same. People are still in the relative circles. This is a key distinction drawn by Hierocles. We should, though, treat the members of each circle better than would otherwise be the case. We ought to treat others as we would wish to be treated in their position, in accordance with the four Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice). In this way, we can deal justly with anybody because he/she is in at least the outer circle, a member of the human race." https://modernstoicism.com/oikeiosis-reimagined-the-circle-of-compassion-by-ray-pilling/ #IRLPhilosopherHierocles #TheoryPhilosophyStoicismOikeiosisCirclesOfConcern #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft ? #BehaviourEmpathy

Addendum this appears to be an edited/repurposed version of #CaricaturistKevinCarden's 'Father reads to children while holding shield' illustration https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-reads-to-children-while-holding-shield/412695814 Metaphorically, Carden's original talks about the idea of fathers (parents) shielding (protecting) their children from harm. Significantly, the shield protects from a generalised/non-specific threat not the overt #OtheringHateHomophobia.ic re-inscription shown here. The theme of 'protection/liberation' is clearly something Carden finds interesting - as is evident in other examples of his work https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-holds-up-shield/253391891 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-protecting-his-child/278610451 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/mother-and-son-under-umbrella/490793637 His illustrations tend to offer up exaggerated scenarios rendered in a 'fantasy art' style, which seem to be influenced by traditions of Christian imagery/metaphorization. Perhaps, the combination of visual style, sentiment and ideology made the image more accessible/amenable to those who produced the reedited version - I'm thinking specifically of its somewhat #CharacterisationSentimentality? #PhenomnRoleFamilyFather

Context this image is a #CharacterisationDerivativeWorkCoOption. The original, full-frame illustration shows a #MetaphorVersusSideBySideDiptych comparison of a mother and her daughter. This version has been cropped significantly. The illustration was created by #CaricaturistLaineyMolnar [forum] Unlike this cropped version, the original presents a positive interpretation, where "Me at age 31" represents a contemporary, #NarrativeValuesCosmopolitan and #PoliticsLiberalismLiberalWorldview as contrasted with the depiction of a #PhenomnRoleMarriageHousewife and #PhenomnRoleFamilyMother as per "My mom at age 31" reference. The implication is that the change is the positive consequence of changing attitudes and presumably, the impact of #CauseFeminismWomensLiberationMovementWLM
Addendum #IRLSociologistAndreasReckwitz "instead of constructing an antagonistic clash between various cultures (and their cultural patterns), I would like to argue that in late modernity we witness a much more antagonism between what I call, 'regimens of culturalisation': not cultures facing off against each other but, more fundamentally two contrary conceptions of what culture means, and therefore two contrary formers, which the cultural sphere is organised. In late modernity a wide-ranging, culturalisation of 'the social' is taking place, however it has two forms, that are very different from each other: Culturalisation1 as I would like to call it, can be observed as a culturalisation of forms of life and sort of global cultural market: here cultural good compete for the subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation. This is what I would call #TheoryHyperculture. Culturalisation2 is a different regimen. This culturalisation aims at collectives, and sets them up as communities sharing an identity and a set of morals. It employs, a strict inside/outside dualism, and follows the model of homogeneous communities created as 'imagined communities': this constellation I would call #TheoryCulturalEssentialism. #TheoryModernityLate (and #TheoryModernityLiquid as defined by #IRLSociologistZygmuntBauman) is marked by conflict between these two regimens of culturalisation, which has led to a contradictory constellation of opening and closure." (transcript of video extract running from 4:03 to 5:36). https://www.mmg.mpg.de/342842/online-lecture-2019-02-27-reckwitz See pages 14-15 in Reckwitz, A. and V. A. Pakis (2021). 'The End of Illusions: Politics, Economy, and Culture in Late Modernity'. Cambridge, UK, Polity Press Cambridge, UK. [Worldcat] In some senses, this conceptualisation of 'hyperculture' and 'cultural essentialism' feels reminiscent of #IRLSociologistFerdinandTonnies' #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGesellschaft (individual oriented, business and commerce dominate) and #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft (group oriented, tradition dominates) [Folksonomy] Also #IRLHistoricalFigureEmileDurkheim Given this, Tonnies' theory was directed towards understanding the transformation from the pre-urban to the urban, not late modernity as per Reckwitz theorisation. Interestingly, the conceptualisation provides some explanation for antagonism towards #TheoryGlobalisation, exemplified by the #OtheringElitesGlobal caricaturisation as proffered by #PoliticsConservatismSocialSoCon.s Reckwitz's point about: "subjects who are striving for individual self-realisation", might tie into #IRLPhilosopherLouisAlthusser's #TheoryInterpellation (this needs to be explored further). Additionally, #IRLScholarTimothySnyder's #TheoryPoliticsOfInevitability https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eghl19elKk8&t=87s feels reminiscent of (at least how Reckwitz explains it), Fukuyama's #1992_TheEndOfHistoryAndTheLastMan theory.
