Cosmopolitanism in Local Global Context

Wednesday, July 16, 2014: 3:30 PM-5:20 PM
Room: 423
WG01 Sociology of Local-Global Relations (host committee)

Language: English

cosmopolitanism is maybe nowadays a new form of distinction that combines with or replaces cultural legitimacy. Even if the opportunities to confront global imagination are bigger than in the past, cosmopolitan practices such as speaking a foreign language, traveling and studying abroad, liking foreign cultural products are still the prerogatives of a few. Our research wishes to answer these questions by proposing both a theoretical model and a methodological pattern. This is the challenge our research will take up in the future in order to displace the aloof, globetrotting bourgeois image of cosmopolitanism.
