Cosmoliteratures: Cosmopolitanisms in Literatures, Literatures in Cosmopolitanisms

Over the centuries, the concept of Cosmopolitanism has been prolifically and repeatedly used in systematic speculative thought. This is in part due to the influence that open dialogue between people from all over the world has had on the organisation of society and the best way to creatively shape it. The cosmopolitan intention encompasses both the differences between all individuals and the possibility of translating them into a potentially universal theoretical and practical plan. So, this historical continuity and the breadth of its ambitions is also present in the different disciplines and areas of knowledge that can be called upon to study cosmopolitanism or that can benefit from the use of a critical vocabulary derived from cosmopolitan proposals. This volume aims to explore precisely this diversity. Resulting from a series of conferences held throughout 2022, the contributions gathered here the two fields most represented our discussion: literature and political philosophy.
