One of the significant messages that Iain Chambers launches in his article Unrealized Democracy and a Posthumanist Art is the existence of a constant disintegration in language, history and culture of the Western world produced by its own mechanisms of globalization, homogenization and modernity. The difference that cultural diversity makes to the Western world, through migration, challenges the ideas of equality and acceptance in the Western historical view of democracy. What is at stake is how identity is continually shifted and influenced, through inclusion and exclusion, based on its level of disruption within the current system. Chambers points out that modernity was built on a framework of “inequalities” and that the West's resistance to difference, but insistence on equality, is contradictory (Chambers 169). I think part of what Chambers refers to as “unrealized democracy” in the title of the article is the sense that the idea of ​​democracy does not mean equality (which it should) and that a sense of citizenship should include the freedom of a person to shape their own future while being able to provide for themselves. This means that equality and opportunities for all should exist and be recognized, but they seem to fail in the case of phenomena such as increasing poverty in an unbalanced economic system. This can be seen in the current global economic situation where some groups of citizens are so affected that they do not live and just get by. These are consequences that affect identity, change how a person positions themselves in the worldview, and keep equality at a controllable distance along with difference. In his book Migrancy, Culture, Identity Iain Chambers discusses...... middle of paper...the modern world and its resistance to any violation of its long-standing identity structure, and the fact that hybrid culture and globalization are its opposing forces. The inevitable arrival of a seemingly ever-smaller world, I believe, is bringing us ever closer to posthumanist ways of thinking, and art in a posthumanist world is a tool that can be used to show how differences should be thought of as qualities that form each of our identities, as opposed to the signifiers that dictate exclusion.
