Chapter 4 of Cüneyt Budak´s PhD thesis discusses the pluralist recipes that encourage the retrieval of various identities, the major effect of which is to maintain the center-periphery dialectics. Differences among individuals or communities develop through their creative productivity in a dialectic relationship with their contemporary world. The substance for this creativity is to be sought in the living cultures rather than in the extinct past, whereas the unique conditions of the "Locality" will remain a determinant in any case.
