Abstract
This article returns to and develops a former paper on cultural hybridization. It begins by interrelating globalisation and culture in order to show the risk of an essentialisation of identities, as opposed to the deepening of multicultural hybrids. It then argues for the “flatness” of the world, a condition to overcome hegemonic cultures and generate new architectures of a networked society made up of public spaces of communication. Likewise, it advocates a double hybridisation for Portugal: one of catching-up, another of anticipation. It also refers to the great challenges of exploring the 3+1 capitals emerging from an intelligent management of migrant flows. Finally, the article concludes with considerations on the role of human adventure towards sustainable meaning-making through cultural intercourse and multi-colouring.
