Cosmopolitan Geographies New Locations in Literature and Culture

The cosmopolitan - the citizen of the world - is unconstrained by national boundaries. Today, the rise of international capital, the alteration of borders, local and transnational demands for autonomy are all making cosmopolitanism a key concept in the study of people and language, writing and space. Cosmopolitan Geographies considers the struggles at the heart of the subject - inclusion vs. exclusion, nation vs. world, globalisation vs. local economy and asks whether in our rush towards globalisation we can sustain the geo-cultural ideal of cosmopolitan identity.
