Beyond Multiculturalism: Cosmopolitanism?
By its etymology, global citizen, cosmopolitanism claims to a certain rootlessness in relation to membership in a particular city. Based on the observation of some American liberal circles by which the U.S. would be, since their foundation, a microcosm of cosmopolitanism — multiculturalism appears a sort of parenthesis in this historic journey — this text is intended to demonstrate how such a cosmopolitanism is essentially nationalist. All this tends to confirm the hypothesis that cosmopolitanism as the concepts that aim to make it readable these phenomena need paradoxically a place to happen.
