The Making of Differences

Michel Wieviorka

Ecole des Hautes ...tudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS)

Cultural differences are produced, and are not just the fruit of a process of reproduction. They are more or less connected to social inequalities or exclusion. They are not the contrary of modern individualism for several reasons: individuals may have a personal interest in choosing a collective identity. This interest may be instrumental or expressive and subjective.

Key Words: identity • inequality • sociology of culture
