M. Forster’s canonical modernist novel Howards End, members of a wealthy English family, the Wilcoxes, discuss a young woman, Margaret Schlegel. “Oh, I forget, she isn’t really English,” the sister comments, to which her brother replies, “She’s a cosmopolitan…. I admit I’m rather down on cosmopolitans. My fault doubtless. I cannot stand them …” (81). What has marked Margaret as a cosmopolitan is her German father, her travels on the continent and her interest in other cultures. All of this seems quite unremark- able from the perspective of the twenty-!rst century, but in the in- tense nationalisms preceding the First World War—Forster’s novel was published in 1906—the Wilcoxes see the Schlegel sisters, both born and raised in England, as somehow failing to have a “proper” national character. Forster’s narrative, however, is less concerned with national identity than with working through the tensions within the root meaning of cosmopolitan: “citizen of the world” from the Greek kosmos (world) and politēs (citizen). "e Schlegel’s German father sees himself as a “countryman of Hegel and Kant” (23), and, in the words of Evelyn Cobley, “what the Schlegel children inherit from the German side of their lineage is their cultural sophistication and ide- alistic intellectualism” (278). Unlike the Wilcoxes, the Schlegel sisters are able to respond to others with openness and empathy, and these qualities too form their cosmopolitan inheritance. "ey are citizens of the world in the sense that they approach others as potentially their co-citizens. In contrast, the Wilcox men can also claim to be citizens of the world, not in the sense of any interest in other cultures, but rather because their businesses traverse national boundaries in the name of global capitalism. As Cobley puts it, Forster foregrounds “the contrast between cosmopolitanism as the circulation of ideas forming 1 Pamela McCallum our cultural identity and cosmopolitanism as the circulation of capital in arena of economic activity” (278). Forster is prescient in his juxtaposition of a cosmopolitanism of ideas and a#ect with the instrumental orientation of global capitalism, and there is no doubt that the interconnections and interpenetration of the two have deepened during the twentieth century and after as migration of populations across the world and the penetration of corporate invest- ment into new spaces of production have increased exponentially. It comes as no surprise, then, that the contemporary British writer Zadie Smith returns to engage Howards End in her exploration of transatlan- tic ethnicities and aesthetics in her novel On Beauty. How might these questions and ideas translate into theoretical re$ections? In the Clare Hall Tanner lectures at Cambridge University, delivered in the spring of 2001, Anthony Appiah, one of the foremost contemporary theorists of cosmopolitanism, argues that “soul making”—the production of human identities—is not given, but rather is produced “in the way in which we are seen and treated by others” (Hawthorn). Appiah suggests that it is possible to enter sympathetically and constructively into the life of another. "e ethics Appiah sketches out here requires the ability to imagine social di#erence within the shared life-worlds of multicultural societies in the twenty-!rst century, and literature is one site where these processes might take shape. "ese experiences of reading will be chal- lenging, marked by hesitations and sometimes by failure, and always subject to rethinking and revisiting, but they open up the possibility of respectfully entering the world of others. "is special issue on “the cosmopolitan novel” explores some of the questions raised by Appiah and other theorists of contemporary cosmo- politanism: Bruce Robbins, Pheng Cheah, Berthold Schoene, Timothy Brennan, Rebecca Walkowitz—the list could go on. Contributors take up a wide range of narrative and cultural texts both canonical and emer- gent: Salman Rushdie and Peter Carey; Yiyun Li, Catherine Bush and Dave Eggers. ARIEL is grateful to the guest editors of the issue, Emily Johansen and Soo Yeon Kim, who have brought together a productive and provocative group of articles. "ank you to Berthold Schoene, who initially contacted ARIEL about the project. It is our hope that “the 2 Notes from the Editor cosmopolitan novel” will generate wide discussion on this timely topic in postcolonial studies. Works Cited Appiah, Kwame Anthony.

  • Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections
    Anti-Zionism and Antisemitism Cosmopolitan Reflections David Hirsh Department of Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, New Cross, London SE14 6NW, UK The Working Papers Series is intended to initiate discussion, debate and discourse on a wide variety of issues as it pertains to the analysis of antisemitism, and to further the study of this subject matter. Please feel free to submit papers to the ISGAP working paper series. Contact the ISGAP Coordinator or the Editor of the Working Paper Series, Charles Asher Small. Working Paper Hirsh 2007 ISSN: 1940-610X © Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy ISGAP 165 East 56th Street, Second floor New York, NY 10022 United States Office Telephone: 212-230-1840 www.isgap.org ABSTRACT This paper aims to disentangle the difficult relationship between anti-Zionism and antisemitism. On one side, antisemitism appears as a pressing contemporary problem, intimately connected to an intensification of hostility to Israel. Opposing accounts downplay the fact of antisemitism and tend to treat the charge as an instrumental attempt to de-legitimize criticism of Israel. I address the central relationship both conceptually and through a number of empirical case studies which lie in the disputed territory between criticism and demonization. The paper focuses on current debates in the British public sphere and in particular on the campaign to boycott Israeli academia. Sociologically the paper seeks to develop a cosmopolitan framework to confront the methodological nationalism of both Zionism and anti-Zionism. It does not assume that exaggerated hostility to Israel is caused by underlying antisemitism but it explores the possibility that antisemitism may be an effect even of some antiracist forms of anti- Zionism.

  • Indian Scholar
    ISSN 2350-109X www.indianscholar.co.in Indian Scholar An International Multidisciplinary Research e-Journal POLITICAL AND CULTURAL CRITIQUES IN TARIQ ALI’S NIGHT OF THE GOLDEN BUTTERFLY Basharat Shameem Research Scholar, Department of English J.S. University, Shikohabad, Uttar Pradesh, India-283135 Abstract Through its close study of Night of the Golden Butterfly by Tariq Ali, this paper makes an attempt to study how the novel offers an alternate account of Pakistan’s political and cultural history through the medium of fiction. History as a tool of reconstruction of experience used by the dominant powers is often seen to be in clash with individual reconstruction of the experience through imagination in the form of literary narratives. This query about the general nature of representation gets attached to some very debatable questions prevailing among the contemporary Pakistanis and those mainly focus on the issues of identity, culture, race, and religion. Unlike the rest of the novels in the Islam Quintet, the novel is set in the modern times narrating an account of contemporary issues pertaining to western imperialism, rise of religious fanaticism, military-mullah-feudal nexus in Pakistan, and immigrant experiences. The paper tries to show how the novel not only takes a hard look at the western imperialism for its devastating impact on the colonized world, but in a self-reflexive way, also criticizes the Muslim societies for adopting the path of self-destructive religious fundamentalism with reference to Ali’s own native country, Pakistan, referred to as “Fatherland” in the novel. Keywords: Night of the Golden Butterfly, Tariq Ali, History, Pakistan, Muslims, Culture, Fundamentalism.

  • Masks Or Souls?: Halide Edib's Politics and Her Pacifism As A
    ariel: a review of international english literature ISSN 0004-1327 Vol. 43 No. 4 Pages 97–122 Copyright © 2013 Masks Or Souls?: Halide Edib’s Politics and Her Pacifism as a Playwright Özlem Ezer Abstract: In this article, I discuss Halide Edib’s play Masks or Souls? (MOS) as anti-war literature by a Turkish female intellec- tual and activist who lived between the two World Wars. The ar- ticle provides a more complete portrayal of Edib, who has often been reduced to a nationalist novelist. I also argue that MOS con- tains autobiographical insights. There is evidence in MOS, for ex- ample, that Edib became a pacifist on the eve of the Second World War. Another war Edib fought was against the ideas and ideologies within the military and intellectual circles of Turkey. Through the actions and comments of several characters in the play, Edib also criticizes the reforms and westernization processes that took place immediately after the declaration of the Turkish Republic in 1923. Finally, I counter the neglect this play has suffered by calling into question some of the nation- and region-based hierarchies preva- lent in literary studies. In 1953, Halide Edib,1 a famous Turkish novelist, wrote a play in English called Masks or Souls? (MOS henceforth), based on an earlier, Turkish version of her play.2 The play offers an extensive, cynical cri- tique of ideologies of some contemporaneous governments (those of Turkey and Europe in particular) and the affairs that had been taking place in several countries like the founding of the League of Nations (which she supported) and some extreme right-wing movements (which she did not).

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support.

  • The Last Duchess of Buffalo
    Adam Hoss The Last Duchess of Buffalo f all the residents in Shoreline Senior Center’s Alzheimer’s Wing, OGladys Rockwell was the most famous. Management tasked Ariel Ramirez with her around-the-clock care. “Because of your people skills,” Rachel said. Ariel peered over the counter, straining to glimpse next week’s sched- ule-in-progress on the screen. Julian assumed his customary pose behind the nurses’ station, folding chair propped at an angle, one foot on the closet door. The reflection of Gladys Rockwell’s Wikipedia page floated on his glasses. “She was in movies with Charlie Chaplin,” he said. “Here’s a picture of her with JFK.” Rachel slurped the remains of her Pepsi through a straw. “She’s a hellion.” “In 1949, she booked the Presidential Suite at the Paris Ritz but never checked in,” Julian said. “Later she clarified the suite was for her poodle.” Ariel understood that her assignment was no promotion. Gladys Rockwell’s arrival had transformed the nursing home staff into a hive of paparazzi. She carried with her suitcases of nostalgia and mystique, Oscar snubs, glamor shots, newspaper clippings of a storied life. The centenarian’s antics were enough to see her blacklisted from several area care centers in Buffalo, her hometown, and across upstate New York. I will endure this, Ariel told herself. “You know she’s a duchess?” Julian asked. “The Queen let her keep the title, even after her divorce.” Rachel held up her hand. “We get it.” Then, turning to Ariel, “Go see how our diva’s settling in.” * 9 red rock review Ariel had managed to find employment.
