Pastoral Cosmopolitanism in Edith Wharton's Fiction
One of the goals of this book is to demonstrate that while the pastoral seems to portray troubling fractures between the social self and native soil, Wharton is more struck by how these ostensibly divergent cultural categories superimpose and interpenetrate to form an ecocritical palimpsest.

Contested Russian Tourism
This literary, cultural history examines imperial Russian
tourism's entanglement in the vexed issue of cosmopolitanism
understood as receptiveness to the foreign and pitted against
provinciality and nationalist anxiety about the allure and the
influence of Western Europe. The study maps the shift from
Enlightenment cosmopolitanism to Byronic cosmopolitanism with
special attention to the art pilgrimage abroad. For typically
middle-class Russians daunted by the cultural riches of the West,
vacationing in the North Caucasus, Georgia, and the Crimea afforded
the compensatory opportunity to play colonizer kings and queens in
\"Asia.\" Drawing on Anna Karenina and other literary
classics, travel writing, journalism, and guidebooks, the
investigation engages with current debates in cosmopolitan studies,
including the fuzzy paradigm of \"colonial cosmopolitanism.\"

Whose cosmopolitanism?
The termcosmopolitanis increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitanism's possibilities, aspirations and applications-as well as its tensions, contradictions, and discontents-so as to offer a critical commentary on the vital but often neglected question:whose cosmopolitanism?The book investigates when, where, and how cosmopolitanism emerges as a contemporary social process, global aspiration or emancipatory political project and asks whether it can serve as a political or methodological framework for action in a world of conflict and difference.

L’expérience de la migration en France ou la quête de l’éthique cosmopolite. Analyse du roman Soleil amer de Lilia Hassaine
This article shows the consequences of migratory movements in France throughout the twentieth century, as well as the proposals for improvement from the perspective, of current critics such as Bertrand Badie (2008), Tahar Ben Jelloun (1984, 2009), François Jullien (2008, 2012) and Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2009, 2015). Within this framework, the construction of a cosmopolitan ethic is imposed (Cortina, 2021) able to articulate the dialogism offered by contemporary intercultural literature written by women (Alfaro, Sawas et Soto, 2020; Alfaro, 2022). In this context, the novel Soleil amer published in 2021 by the French writer of Algerian origin, Lilia Hassaine, describes the migration problems in France for four decades and the consequences experienced by an Algerian family in which the cultural parameters North vs South come into confrontation and where tradition vs progress generate disagreements. There-fore, we will evoke in this article an analytical reflection around social integration.

Visceral cosmopolitanism : gender, culture and the normalisation of difference
Cultural theorist Mica Nava makes an original and significant contribution to the study of cosmopolitanism by exploring everyday English urban cosmopolitanism and foregrounding the gendered, imaginative and empathetic aspects of positive engagement with cultural and racial difference. By looking at a wide range of texts, events and biographical narratives, she traces cosmopolitanism from its marginal status at the beginning of the 20th century to its relative normalisation today. Case studies include the promotion of cosmopolitanism by Selfridges before the first world war; relationships between white English women and 'other' men – Jews and black GIs – during the 1930s and 1940s; literary, cinematic and social science representations of migrants in postcolonial Britain; and Diana and Dodi's interracial romance in the 1990s. In the final chapter, the author draws on her own complex family history to illustrate the contemporary cosmopolitan London experience. Scholars have tended to ignore the oppositional cultures of antiracism and social inclusivity. This ground-breaking study redresses this imbalance and offers a sophisticated account of the uneven history of vernacular cosmopolitanism.

Alexandrian Cosmopolitanism: An Archive
Interrogating how Alexandria became enshrined as the exemplary cosmopolitan space in the Middle East, this book mounts a radical critique of Eurocentric conceptions of cosmopolitanism. The dominant account of Alexandrian cosmopolitanism elevates things European in the city's culture and simultaneously places things Egyptian under the sign of decline. The book goes beyond this civilization/barbarism binary to trace other modes of intercultural solidarity. Halim presents a comparative study of literary representations, addressing poetry, fiction, guidebooks, and operettas, among other genres. She reappraises three writers--C. P. Cavafy, E. M. Forster, and Lawrence Durrell--whom she maintains have been cast as the canon of Alexandria. Attending to issues of genre, gender, ethnicity, and class, she refutes the view that these writers' representations are largely congruent and uncovers a variety of positions ranging from Orientalist to anti-colonial. The book then turns to Bernard de Zogheb, a virtually unpublished writer, and elicits his Camp parodies of elite Levantine mores in operettas one of which centers on Cavafy. Drawing on Arabic critical and historical texts, as well as contemporary writers' and filmmakers' engagement with the canonical triumvirate, Halim orchestrates an Egyptian dialogue with the European representations.
