At a time when social and political reality seems to move away from
the practice of cosmopolitanism, whilst 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. But to what extent do emerging definitions of
cosmopolitanism contribute to new representative democratic models
of governance? The present volume argues that a radical
transformation of cosmopolitanism is already ongoing and that more
effort is needed to take stock of transformations which are both
necessary and possible. To this end, After Cosmopolitanism calls
for an understanding of cosmopolitanism that is more attentive to
the material reality of our social and political situation and less
focused on linguistic analyses of its metaphorical implications. It
is the call for a cosmopolitanism that is also a cosmopolitics.
