Bücher der Reihe New Visions of the Cosmopolitan

This volume explores how we can learn to live with individual and group differences in the twenty-first century, locating this within the ambivalences of contemporary cosmopolitanism. It analyses visual, normative and cultural embodiments of difference, presenting dynamic conflicts at local sites connected through globalization and Europeanization.

This book examines recent debates on the political dynamics of cosmopolitanism, particularly in its connection with European civil society and the public sphere. Its aim is to trace to what extent cosmopolitanism defines the "second modernity" and to analyse what cosmopolitanism can offer to modern socially and politically diverse societies.
