  • This work intends to establish some conceptual links between a hermeneutic thought, developed through notions of dialogical nature as the � fusion of the horizons� (Hans-George Gadamer), and an �inter� (or �trans�)-culturality derived from the epistemological, ethical and political implications of the mixed-race thought and the hybridation (Miquel Rodrigo Alsina; Silva y Browne). Starting from a plural, dynamic and relational conception of non essentialized identities and, therefore, referred to the infinite process constituent of the shaping of the oneself in the always fertile encounter with the alterity (Paul Ricoeur), the reflections presented here point towards a critical and engaged reorientation of the current debate about the �globalization�, centred on the reactive opposition between the capitalizing logics of the informational capitalism and the local defence of some identities each time more self-withdrawn in the rejection and hatred to the �other� (Manuel Castells).

    To sum up, following the motivations that took, in 1940, the Cuban Fernando Ortiz to coin for the first time the term transculturation, the transculturality will be focused from a �critical multiculturalism� of the resistance (Peter Mclaren) which turns the generalized practice of the infinite cultural transaction into the �breeding ground� of the cooperative transgression of that hegemonic segregationist multiculturalism which will be the object of a deconstruction as a ideological base of the new Net-Capitalism (of Control).
