Cosmopolitan Sociability : Locating Transnational Religious and Diasporic Networks EPUB
Edited by Tsypylma Darieva, Nina Glick Schiller, Sandra Gruner-Domic
Part of the Ethnic and Racial Studies series
EPUB
Description
This book approaches the concept of cosmopolitan sociability as a cultural or territorial rootedness that facilitates a simultaneous openness to shared human emotions, experiences, and aspirations.
Cosmopolitan Sociability critiques definitions of cosmopolitanism as a tolerance for cultural difference or a universalist morality that arise from contemporary experiences of mobility and globalization. Challenging these assumptions, the book explores the degree to which a 'cosmopolitan dimension' can be practised within particular religious communities, diasporic ties, or gendered migrant identities in different parts of the world. A wide variety of expert contributors offer rich ethnographic insights into the interplay of social interactions and cosmopolitan sociability. In this way the book contributes significantly to ethnic and migration studies, global anthropology, social theory, and religious and cultural studies.
Cosmopolitan Sociability was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial Studies.
