Description:
At a time when social and political reality seems to move away from the practice of cosmopolitanism, while being in serious need of a new international framework to regulate global interaction, what are the new definitions and practices of cosmopolitanism? Including contributions from leading figures across the humanities and social sciences, After Cosmopolitanism takes up this question as its central challenge. Its core argument is the idea that our globalised condition forms the heart of contemporary cosmopolitan claims, which do not refer to a transcendental ideal, but are rather immanent to the material conditions of global interdependence.
Review Quotes:
"With After Cosmopolitanism, Rosi Braidotti, Patrick Hanafin, and Bolette Blaagaard have edited a fine book that is likely to appeal to a broad readership, within and beyond the social sciences and humanities."
