BRITAIN IN TRANSITION: DIVERSITY, THERAPY CULTURE AND THE LEGACY OF NEW LABOUR

The core of the article is constituted around three topics: diversity, culture and the legacy of new labour. The author proposes to look at the British sociopolitical arena with particular focus on actions taken by the main actors of the political stage, operating in a multicultural “scenography”. Cultural diversity – for long inscribed in the British context – provides reflection on how to interpret the phenomena present in the collective and individual life (society and the individual). Patterns of interpretation delivered by the media, disclose specific paradigms of social, political and economic phenomena which influence every member of modern society.
