Cultural diversity as a tool for caring and productive resistance. The case of FC Barcelona: A responsible perspective
This paper demonstrates the influence of plural identities on caring in global responsible environments. The research examines FC Barcelona as a case of a caring organisation developing a global identity via productive resistance within a regional national culture. FC Barcelona is a deviant example in its display of a caring relationship towards others. This study highlights productive resistance as a practice of caring and discusses the reciprocal relationship between the caring organisation and resistance. The purpose of this study is to explain how domination can induce productive resistance, which can lead to the creation of caring organisations. Positive exposure to diversity reinforces plural identities, which are amplified by acts of productive resistance. This research builds on the notion of caring as a productive form of resistance in an effort to explain the increasing emergence of caring organisations on the international stage. The study shows how caring can be a productive response to domination. Resistance, in the case of FC Barcelona as an institution of a minority culture, is understood as a form of care.
