Negative Cosmopolitanism synopsis

From climate change, debt and refugee crises to energy security, environmental disasters and terrorism, events that lead to nightly news and policy guidance require a global perspective. In the twentieth century, the world sought solutions through official institutions of international governance such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court and the World Bank, but current responses to global realities are often temporary, improvised, and policing.

Following this unequal history in order to identify key actors, compete for ideologies, and compete rhetoric, the negative cosmopolitanism challenges the cantonal triangle of cosmopolitanism as a precondition for a lasting world peace. Uniting literary scientists with researchers working on contemporary problems and studying related issues in the past - including slavery, industrial capitalism, and corporate imperialism - articles in this volume examine the involvement of cosmopolitanism in the expansion of world trade and capital networks from the 18th century to the present.

By doing so, contributors identify the ways in which entire populations are set up in a capitalist reality that has little in common with the pre-cosmopolitan ideals. A model to raise new and necessary questions about neoliberalism, vital politics, colonialism, citizenship, xenophobia and negative cosmopolitanism establishes a new perspective on the representation of globalization and modern life in history and literature.
