Summary: | The authors argue that there is no good definition of cosmopolitanism. Some topics that cosmopolitanism encompasses -- nationalism, colonialism, globalization, political movements, feminism, cultural transition, public cultures, & transition in general -- are outlined. The authors contend that cosmopolitans at present are frequently the victims of modernity, with capitalism's upward mobility. The essays in this special journal issue are situated within the context of these powerful trends. They show how radically the history of cosmopolitanism can be rewritten & also how its map can be redrawn once scholars are willing to think outside the box of European intellectual history. The range of practices that might allow new thinking is great. E. Larsen |
