| Abstract
|
:
|
An articulation of any kind of global understanding of belonging, or ways of cosmopolitan life, requires a constant engagement with vulnerability, especially in a world that is so deeply wounded by subjugation, colonialisms and genocides. And yet discussion of the body, affect and corporeal politics of and from the victims of such violences are noticeably absent from contemporary liberal and Kantian models of cosmopolitan thought. This book explores the ways in which existing narratives of cosmopolitanism are often organised around European and American discourses of human rights and universalism, which allow little room for the articulation of an affective, embodied and subaltern politics. Towards Corporeal Cosmopolitanism: Performing Decolonial Solidarities envisions new ways of articulating and conceptualising 'corporeal cosmopolitanism' that are neither restricted to a purely postcolonial paradigm, nor subjugated by European colonialism and modernity. It challenges the understanding of liberal cosmopolitan solidarities using decolonial and feminist performances of solidarity as radical compassion, resistance, and love. Book jacket.
