World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality
Author: Gesine MüllerPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110641135
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.
Metabolismo Cultural Como Estrategia para Preservar la Identidad Cultural y EcolÓGica
Author: Reinhard SenkowskiPublisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 146330854X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
Estamos proyectando el análisis de una metamorfosis global en la actualidad, como los cambios de identidades en el proceso de transformación cultural. En consecuencia, buscamos un concepto de intercambio cultural, como una síntesis de diferentes factores y dimensiones en el mundo multi e intercultural. Igualmente, queremos enfocar los elementos etnoecológicos, tanto regionales como globales, para el establecimiento de una visión holística y armoniosa. Además, planeamos desarrollar criterios para una Didáctica de la Cosmovisión con paradigmas nuevos del Metabolismo Cultural como una opción frente al camino actual en el marco de la globalización, concebido como unidimensional y unidireccional, que conduce a un callejón sin salida por la realización de cierta monocultura, una tendencia central, monopólica, racional, fragmentada y material que cosifica el mundo. Lograrlo implica investigar horizontes hacia una concientización y la búsqueda de una convivencia integrativa, armónica e interrelacionada, complementaria que sirva de inspiración en el sentido de un Metabolismo Cultural, como una fórmula y síntesis para convivir en un marco globalizante, sin perder la heterogeneidad de las singularidades del regionalismo biológico y cultural, algo propio de las unidades, que da sentido y función de la sustentabilidad contundente en una totalidad (Holón) continua.

Author: Debating the Ethics of Immigration
Author: Christopher Heath WellmanPublisher: OUP USA
ISBN: 0199731721
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Do states have the right to prevent potential immigrants from crossing their borders, or should people have the freedom to migrate and settle wherever they wish? Christopher Heath Wellman and Phillip Cole develop and defend opposing answers to this timely and important question. Appealing to the right to freedom of association, Wellman contends that legitimate states have broad discretion to exclude potential immigrants, even those who desperately seek to enter. Against this, Cole argues that the commitment to the moral equality of all human beings - which legitimate states can be expected to hold - means national borders must be open: equal respect requires equal access, both to territory and membership; and that the idea of open borders is less radical than it seems when we consider how many territorial and community boundaries have this open nature. In addition to engaging with each other's arguments, Wellman and Cole address a range of central questions and prominent positions on this topic. The authors therefore provide a critical overview of the major contributions to the ethics of migration, as well as developing original, provocative positions of their own.
The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity
Author: Veronica Benet-MartinezPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199796750
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 561
Book Description
Multiculturalism is a prevalent worldwide societal phenomenon. Aspects of our modern life, such as migration, economic globalization, multicultural policies, and cross-border travel and communication have made intercultural contacts inevitable. High numbers of multicultural individuals (23-43% of the population by some estimates) can be found in many nations where migration has been strong (e.g., Australia, U.S., Western Europe, Singapore) or where there is a history of colonization (e.g., Hong Kong). Many multicultural individuals are also ethnic and cultural minorities who are descendants of immigrants, majority individuals with extensive multicultural experiences, or people with culturally mixed families; all people for whom identification and/or involvement with multiple cultures is the norm. Despite the prevalence of multicultural identity and experiences, until the publication of this volume, there has not yet been a comprehensive review of scholarly research on the psychological underpinning of multiculturalism. The Oxford Handbook of Multicultural Identity fills this void. It reviews cutting-edge empirical and theoretical work on the psychology of multicultural identities and experiences. As a whole, the volume addresses some important basic issues, such as measurement of multicultural identity, links between multilingualism and multiculturalism, the social psychology of multiculturalism and globalization, as well as applied issues such as multiculturalism in counseling, education, policy, marketing and organizational science, to mention a few. This handbook will be useful for students, researchers, and teachers in cultural, social, personality, developmental, acculturation, and ethnic psychology. It can also be used as a source book in advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on identity and multiculturalism, and a reference for applied psychologists and researchers in the domains of education, management, and marketing.
