The essays in the volume address educational issues that arise when national, sub-national, and supra-national identities compete. These include: how to determine the limits to parental educational rights when liberalism’s concern to protect and promote children’s autonomy conflicts with the desire to maintain communal integrity; whether, given the advances made by the forces of globalization, the liberal–democratic state can morally justify its traditional purpose of forging a cohesive national identity or whether increasing globalization has rendered this educational aim obsolete and morally corrupt; and whether liberal education should instead seek to foster a sense of global citizenship, even if doing so would suppress patriotic identification. In addressing these and many other questions, the volume examines the theoretical and practical issues at stake between nationalists, multiculturalists, and cosmopolitans in the field of education. The 15 essays included (which were originally presented at a symposium on ‘Collective Identities and Cosmopolitan Values: Group Rights and Public Education in Liberal–Democratic Societies’, held in Montreal from June 22 to 25, 2000), and an introductory essay by the editors, provide a genuine, productive dialogue between political and legal philosophers and educational theorists. The essays are arranged in three parts: I: Cosmopolitanism, Liberalism and Common Education (six chapters); II: Liberalism and Traditionalist Education (four chapters); and III: Liberal Constraints on Traditionalist Education (five chapters).Less

The official cultural identity of the USSR shifted rapidly in the early Cold War. Three different campaigns expressed this new identity amongst different groups: the Zhdanovshchina, the Lysenko-led assault on Michurinism, and the Anti-Cosmopolitan Campaign. These campaigns attacked ‘kowtowing’ before capitalist culture and reinforced the self-sufficiency and superiority of Soviet civilization. Most Soviet scientists and artists adapted successfully to the new language of Sovietness, performing, reappropriating, and avoiding the demands of the ideological campaigns. On a popular level, American cinema, jazz, and clothing styles remained popular. However, even those such as the stiliagi who styled themselves in an explicitly ‘American’ manner were ‘tactically’ negotiating the boundaries of Soviet and un-Soviet style, rather than resisting Soviet power. The glamour and chic, as well as the threatening nature, of the outside world remained a structural feature of the Soviet post-war mentalité.Less

Following a disagreement with Metro about production costs, Capellani left the company for good in spite of the huge success of The Red Lantern. He decided to become an independent producer himself. Albert Capellani Productions started in 1919 with an innovative “filmusical-comedy” after P. G. Wodehouse, Oh Boy! Capellani produced eight features, but the company encountered severe financial difficulties following the destruction of the studio laboratory. By 1920, the company was dead, and Capellani had to sign a contract with Cosmopolitan Productions, headed by William Randolph Hearst.Less

Capellani made four films for Cosmopolitan, including The Young Diana (1922), with Hearst’s mistress Marion Davies. His last years in America were difficult, and Capellani was no doubt thinking of going back to France, making frequent travels back to his home country. His health was also an important factor; he was suffering from diabetes, then incurable. The intense activity of the past years was taking its toll. Capellani left the United States for France in 1922.Less

This chapter considers three dominant social imaginaries that have taken hold in the contemporary setting. One is built around a particular fantasy of recognition, in which the bases of legitimacy of national space are predicated on the conditions of transnational finance capital. A second builds on an elite understanding of processes of neoliberalization as inherently experimental, uneven, and “variegated”—an understanding designed to admit economic crisis or market failure as an integral part of long-term political-economic transformation rather than an aberration. The third imaginary relies on the magical qualities attributed to brand management by its practitioners, advocates, and the general public. The chapter proposes that the mundane practices of nation branding do perpetuate the nation form, because they perpetuate a conversation about what the nation is for in a global context and about what it means to be a national citizen amid cosmopolitan conceptualizations. However, the form of recognition that nation branding offers is deeply problematic. Although nation branding promotes “wealth” in finance-capital-intensive, attention-intensive, and knowledge- or experience-intensive economies, other forms of collective wealth may be lost in the process.Less

The traditional model of citizenship is one based at the state level. Yet developments (processes of globalisation along with growing pluralisation of western societies) have led some to call this state-centric model into question. As rights become increasingly based not upon nationality but residency (as human rights discourses become more prominent), and political activism on global causes is directed beyond the nation state, citizenship seems to be changing its locus. In this chapter we will examine these theories of post-national and cosmopolitan citizenship, and probe similarities and differences.Less

The authors argue, that a focus on Black intellectualism dissolves binary oppositions—as Paul Gilroy, W.E.B. DuBois, and others have attempted to do in their explorations of “double consciousness” and other (intellectual) ways in which people of African descent have proactively negotiated their heritage, past, and present in the face of external conditions of hardship and change. Studies on Black Intellectualism create a space for understanding self-determined, conscious actions and creative choices, without ignoring historical and systemic obstacles of inequality, discrimination, violence, enslavement, misfortune or other circumstances that may victimize. New literature focusing on the intellectualism of the Black Atlantic and beyond can now go further to make more connections across time and space and to show how these inventive connections and collaborations are an inherent part of the process of facing uncertainty, movement and change By moving beyond traditional and formerly limiting geographical, historical, and conceptual categories of the “Black Atlantic,” we expand and liberate this discourse to make possible the study of how movement to “anywhere but here” helped individuals to arrive at where they needed to be spiritually, socially, politically, and culturally.Less

This chapter describes the origins of the fan magazine, which goes back to the popular general magazines promoting consumer culture and social issues that began publication in the 1880s and 1890s. These new publications, from which the first fan magazines borrowed their graphics and their style, included Munsey’s (founded in 1886 by Frank Munsey), McClure’s (founded in 1893 by S. S. McClure), and Cosmopolitan (founded in 1886 and taken over by William Randolph Hearst in 1905), followed in the early years of the twentieth century by the Saturday Evening Post and the Ladies’ Home Journal.Less

This chapter investigates what kind of whiteness is being marketed in transnational women's magazines in post-Soeharto (post-1998) Indonesia. Using discourse and semiotic analyses, it decodes the meanings of various “signs” in whitening advertisements published in the Indonesian edition of Cosmopolitan magazine and tanning advertisements in the U.S. edition during the years 2006–2008. It argues that desire for “whiteness” is not the same as desire for “Caucasian whiteness” and cites a shift from Indonesian white beauty toward what it calls “cosmopolitan whiteness.” It considers how “cosmopolitan whiteness” is being marketed through Cosmopolitan's ads for skin-whitening products and highlights the “affective” construction of gender, race, and skin color.Less

This chapter focuses on the rise of second-generation gospel choirs in Chicago. On July 6, 1959, Robert Anderson and Eddie Robinson sponsored the “Mountain of Gospel Music,” starring James Cleveland and the Voices of Tabernacle Choir from Detroit's Prayer Tabernacle Church, at the First Church of Deliverance. Cleveland's triumph with the Voices of Tabernacle turned him from “years of struggling” into a major gospel attraction. This chapter begins with a discussion of Chicago-based community choirs devoted to second-generation gospel music, including the Thompson Community Singers, the Wooten Choral Ensemble, the Youth Federation of South Chicago, South Side Community Singers, Helen Robinson Youth Choir, and Treadwell Community Singers. It also takes a look at other second-generation church choirs such as the ensemble at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church, Hyde Park Bible Church, Redeeming Church of Christ, and Cosmopolitan Church of Prayer. The chapter concludes with an overview of the phenomenon called “broadcast hopping,” a journey that gospel music enthusiasts made on Sundays to be present for as many live radio broadcast services as possible.Less
