CFP: Volume on "Cosmopolitanism Reconsidered"
Thomas O. Haakenson
Cosmopolitanism Reconsidered:
Jürgen Habermas, Germany, and the European Union
Essays of 8500-10000 words are solicited for a volume tentatively titled Cosmopolitanism Reconsidered: Jürgen Habermas, Germany, and the European Union to be submitted to Routledge for publication. The volume seeks to examine the work of Habermas in relation to European Union crises, both recent and historical.
Authors should specially address the cultural -- as opposed to political or economic -- catalysts for, or implications of, one (or more) of the EU crises. Authors should frame their interventions in light of Habermas's concept of "cosmopolitanism." Authors addressing cosmopolitanism and the EU crisis / crises in the following areas, in particular, are encouraged, but essays on other topics related to Habermas’s concept of “cosmopolitanism” in light of debates about the European Union are also welcomed:
- film / television / media
- art
- music
- theater
- food / gastronomic culture
- visual culture
- language instruction / second language issues
- literary culture
For full consideration, complete draft essays, and the author's curriculum vitae, are due to the volume's three editors by 17 February 2014.
