Vernacular cosmopolitanism

Article Abstract:

The term 'vernacular cosmopolitanism' is an oxymoron that joins contradictory notions of local specificity and universal enlightenment. Debates on vernacular cosmopolitanism question whether the local, parochial, rooted, culturally specific and demotic may co-exist with the translocal, transnational, transcendent, elitist, enlightened, universalist and modest, whether boundary-crossing demotic migrations may be compared to the globe-trotting travel, sophisticated cultural knowledge and moral world-view of deracinated intellectuals.

Article Abstract:

A cosmopolitanism that consists of conceptually and empirically identifiable values and outlooks is argued. Researchers should not only agree on some common determinants of cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan dispositions but also ground their analyses of cosmopolitanism in the context of enduring nation-state structures.
