The Limits of Cosmopolitanism: Globalization and Its Discontents in Contemporary Literature de Aleksandar Stevic

The Limits of Cosmopolitanism: Globalization and Its Discontents in Contemporary Literature: Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature

Editat de Aleksandar Stevic, Philip Tsang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 dec 2021
This book examines the limits of cosmopolitanism in contemporary literature. In a world in which engagement with strangers is no longer optional, and in which the ubiquitous demands of globalization clash with resurgent localist and nationalist sentiments, cosmopolitanism is no longer merely a horizon-broadening aspiration but a compulsory order of things to which we are all conscripted. Focusing on literary texts from such diverse locales as England, Algeria, Sweden, former Yugoslavia, and the Sudan, the essays in this collection interrogate the tensions and impasses in our prison-house of cosmopolitanism.

Descriere

The essays collected in this volume explore how contemporary literature imagines living between identities and locales—Nigerian and American, Turkish and German, Sudanese and European—in order to ask broad questions about the meaning of cosmopolitanism.
