Cosmopolitanism: Scales of Circulation

leave a comment »

Cosmopolitanism: scales of circulation addresses questions of the largest scales – the global and the universal. How do ethnographers locate the global and the local, and do these still have purchase? How are actors able to work across distant spaces, and how should ethnographers conceptualize flows of power, resources, and people without resorting to theories that seem to impose diagnosis of such movement from above? How do ethnographers investigate networks of actors that extend across space and time?

Douglas Holmes, Ben Lee, Caitlin Zaloom
