Book Synopsis Cosmopolitan Sociability by : Tsypylma Darieva
Download or read book Cosmopolitan Sociability written by Tsypylma Darieva. This book was released on 2014-06-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book approaches the concept of cosmopolitan sociability as a cultural or territorial rootedness that facilitates a simultaneous openness to shared human emotions, experiences, and aspirations. Cosmopolitan Sociability critiques definitions of cosmopolitanism as a tolerance for cultural difference or a universalist morality that arise from contemporary experiences of mobility and globalization. Challenging these assumptions, the book explores the degree to which a 'cosmopolitan dimension' can be practised within particular religious communities, diasporic ties, or gendered migrant identities in different parts of the world. A wide variety of expert contributors offer rich ethnographic insights into the interplay of social interactions and cosmopolitan sociability. In this way the book contributes significantly to ethnic and migration studies, global anthropology, social theory, and religious and cultural studies. Cosmopolitan Sociability was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.

Book Synopsis Cosmopolitanisms, Race, and Ethnicity by : Ewa Barbara Luczak
Download or read book Cosmopolitanisms, Race, and Ethnicity written by Ewa Barbara Luczak. This book was released on 2018-11-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology sheds new light on cosmopolitanism and culture in the contemporary world. Drawing on postcolonial, ethnic, and critical race studies as well as recent literary and critical theory, it demonstrates that new cosmopolitan thinking can embrace an awareness of ethnic and local differences. It disputes the utopianism of colorblind universalism and argues for the persistence of "race" and racialized thinking in lived experience. The essays collected in this volume valorize minoritarian perspectives and urge readers to rethink cosmopolitanism from the perspective of the underprivileged and marginalized, and highlight the role of culture in mobilizing social empathy and solidarity with the world's precariat. The contributors, who come from over a dozen of different countries and from diverse socio-cultural backgrounds, constitute a vibrant cosmopolitan community in itself.

Book Synopsis Multiculturalism's Double-Bind by : John Nagle
Download or read book Multiculturalism's Double-Bind written by John Nagle. This book was released on 2016-04-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a rich array of ethnographic and archival data closely considering the Irish and the manner in which ’Irishness’ was rendered inclusive, Multiculturalism's Double Bind demonstrates that multiculturalism can encourage cross-community political engagement in the global city. This book challenges the perceived wisdom that multiculturalism counteracts the opportunity for groups to move beyond their particularized constituency to build links and networks with other 'minority' groups. Theoretically informed and empirically grounded this volume will appeal to scholars across a range of disciplines, including migration and ethnicity, social and cultural anthropology, Irish studies and sociology.

Book Synopsis Anyone by : Nigel Rapport
Download or read book Anyone written by Nigel Rapport. This book was released on 2012-07-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance that people grant to their affiliations as members of nations, religions, classes, races, ethnicities and genders is evidence of the vital need for a cosmopolitan project that originates in the figure of Anyone – the universal and yet individual human being. Cosmopolitanism offers an alternative to multiculturalism, a different vision of identity, belonging, solidarity and justice, that avoids the seemingly intractable character of identity politics: it identifies samenesses of the human condition that underlie the surface differences of history, culture and society, nation, ethnicity, religion, class, race and gender. This book argues for the importance of cosmopolitanism as a theory of human being, as a methodology for social science and as a moral and political program.
