Specifically, scholars have been concerned to distinguish between cosmopolitanism as a set of mundane practices and\/or competences on the one hand and cosmopolitanism as a cultivated form of consciousness or moral aspiration on the other. For anthropologists whose ethnographic studies reveal many different expressions of cosmopolitanism, this distinction between aspiration and practice can often be quite ambiguous. This\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003ebook therefore brings together five contributions from anthropologists who are reporting on encounters and aspirations that reveal different forms of spatial mobility, scales of commitment or risk, and are often transient, ambivalent and precarious. These are circumstances in which cosmopolitanism emerges as uneven and partial rather than as a comprehensive or unequivocal transformation of practice and outlook.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eIdentities: Global Studies in Culture and Power\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45237788606615,"sku":"9781138200531","price":13149.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781138200531.webp?v=1769217632","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mobility-and-cosmopolitanism-complicating-the-interaction-between-aspiration-and-practice-9781138200531","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
