Softcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Gebrauchsspuren; Leichte Verformung / umgeknickte Seiten; Leichte Verschmutzung / Farbtonveranderung. From every quarter, we hear of a new global culture, postcolonial and hybrid, heralding the death of nationalism and the rise of cosmopolitanism. However, Timothy Brennan uncovers a contrasting narrative beneath this trend. His book offers a polemical and passionate critique of the self-indulgence often labeled as cosmopolitanism while acknowledging the numerous forces opposing globalism in its simplistic, homogenizing form. Brennan explores developments across various platforms--editorial pages, policy journals, corporate training manuals, and especially the arts. His analysis spans figures from George Orwell to Julia Kristeva, Subcommandante Marcos to Julio Cortazar, and Ernst Bloch to contemporary advocates of transnational capitalism. He pays particular attention to C. L. R. James, whose work presents an alternative to traditional cultural studies, and Alejo Carpentier, whose insights into Cuban popular music blur the lines between mass and elite culture. This critical call to action urges intellectuals and scholars to revitalize cultural studies by exposing the superficiality of the new cosmopolitanism, ultimately enriching the concept itself.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. From every quarter we hear of a new global culture, postcolonial, hybrid, announcing the death of nationalism, the arrival of cosmopolitanism. But under the drumbeat attending this trend, Timothy Brennan detects another, altogether different sound. Polemical, passionate, certain to provoke, his book exposes the drama being played out under the guise of globalism. A bracing critique of the critical self-indulgence that calls itself cosmopolitanism, it also takes note of the many countervailing forces acting against globalism in its facile, homogenizing sense.The developments Brennan traces occur in many places--editorial pages, policy journals, corporate training manuals, and, primarily, in the arts. His subject takes him from George Orwell to Julia Kristeva, from Subcommandante Marcos to Julio Cortazar, from Ernst Bloch to contemporary apologists for transnational capitalism and "liberation management," from "third world" writing to the Nobel Prize, with little of critical theory or cultural studies left untouched in between. Brennan gives extended treatment to two exemplary figures: the Trinidadian writer C. L. R. James, whose work suggests an alternative approach to cultural studies; and the Cuban writer Alejo Carpentier, whose appreciation of Cuban popular music cuts through the usual distinctions between mass and elite culture.A critical call to arms, At Home in the World summons intellectuals and scholars to reinvigorate critical cultural studies. In stripping the false and heedless from the new cosmopolitanism, Brennan revitalizes the idea.
