Abstract

The proliferation of new cultural flows, new modes of belonging and new practices of citizenship mobilise minds and bodies with identifications beyond nation-states. These referents stretch beyond nationality, ethnicity, religion, culture, nation, minorities, majorities, and territorial belongings (Hoerder, Hébert & Schmitt, 2006; Hannerz, 1997). New arenas of interaction, deliberation and influence are created, where diversities are taken for granted and where people are not defined as minority or majority, where transcultural modes of belonging are accommodated, organised, and lived, bypassing existing political, territorial and cultural boundaries between peoples (Appadurai, 1996; Sicakkan, 2005).
