Finnishness and Colonization in Akseli Gallen-Kallela's Representations of AfricaRichey, Camille Kathryn 01 June 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Akseli Gallen-Kallela is often discussed as the national painter of Finland, as one who helped define Finnishness when Finland was still a colonized area of Russia. However, his trip to Africa from 1909-1911 shows where Gallen-Kallela acts as a pictorial colonizer himself, not only sympathizing with the Africans but representing them through a European cosmopolitan lens, as purer and closer to nature, but still inferior. The assumptions inherent in his representations of Africa reveal that Gallen-Kallela is not only a colonized subject but a colonizer of his own country.

Zadie Smith's NW and the Edwardian Roots of the Contemporary Cosmopolitan EthicMarostica, Laura Domenica 01 December 2014 (has links) (PDF)
British contemporary writer Zadie Smith is often representative of cosmopolitan writers of the twenty-first century: in both her fiction and nonfiction, she joins a multicultural background and broad, varied interests to an ethic based on the importance of interpersonal relationships and empathetic respect for the other. But while Smith is often considered the poster child for the contemporary British cosmopolitan, her ethics are in fact rooted in the one rather staid member of the canon: EM Forster, whose emphatic call to ‘only connect’ grounds all of Smith's fiction. Her latest novel, 2012's NW, further expands her relationship to Forster in highlighting both the promise and the limitations of empathy and cosmopolitan connection in the context of modern urban British life. This paper uses Kwame Anthony Appiah's definition of “rooted cosmopolitanism” to explore Forster's and Smith's shared ethics. I argue that their relationship grounds and influences Smith's literary rooted cosmopolitanism: that while she writes books for the age of globalization, her deliberate ties to the British canon suggest an investment in maintaining and reinvigorating the British novelistic tradition as a pathway to a collective British identity that is as expansive, modern, and empathetic as her novels.

Securitization and Refugee Resettlement Policy: Using Social Media to Understand Public AttitudesTessmer, Michael Lane 17 June 2019 (has links)
This thesis answers the question of how public opinion toward refugees and asylum-seekers expressed in opinion polls compares with that expressed through commentary on news articles posted by Cable News Network (CNN) on social media. Using a study of 2,022 Facebook comments regarding the plight of Syrian child Omran Daqneesh during the 2016 United States presidential election campaign, it reveals competing narratives in favor of and against the opening of American borders to individuals escaping conflict in Syria. The analysis of textual data encompasses themes of securitization and cosmopolitanism, the results of which provide clarity and texture to complement existing opinion poll data. While such polls provide snapshots of public opinion, an analysis of social media commentary reveals more clearly what and how people were thinking about Syrian refugees fleeing conflict and entering the United States at a specific point in time. This study leads to a heightened understanding of the nuances contributing to public opinion of refugee policies and assesses social media's capacity to reveal complexities of citizens' thinking. / Master of Arts / As the 2011 Syrian Civil War continues to engulf the Middle Eastern country, waves of civilians displaced by the conflict are forced to flee their homes as refugees and seek asylum in regions such as North America and Europe. In this thesis, I study the attitudes expressed on Facebook, a popular social media website, by members of the public in order to understand their reasons for supporting and opposing the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the United States. I expected that security concerns would be a primary motive for opposing refugee resettlement and anticipated that supporters would promote more open borders and a responsibility to protect Syrians’ human rights. My analysis confirmed that security, primarily against terrorism and acts of violence, is important for those who oppose bringing Syrian refugees into the United States. It also reveals that most of the online commenters were less concerned with terrorism and more concerned with the wellbeing of civilians escaping conflict. My analysis also found a segment of commenters voicing more moderate opinions: posters in this group support refugee resettlement if certain conditions are met or they support only certain types of refugees. I also compare the sentiment expressed in social media commentary to that documented by opinion polling during the same period.

Patriotic Attachment, Libidinal Economy, and Cosmopolitan Citizenship: A Qualified Defense of Patriotic LoveCanard, Robert Leigh 14 July 2009 (has links)
Terms such as "fascist" and "nazi" retain light and even comical currency in contemporary pop culture despite the gravity of the events that produced them. Departing from this common usage, I consider within political and psychoanalytic frameworks the normative effects common understandings of fascism and totalitarianism exercise vis-a-vis collective attachments (patriotism, nationalism), and specifically how this discourse shapes notions of citizenship. Working within this political-psychoanalytic model, I analyze the substance behind Barack Obama's Presidential campaign themes of hope and change by way of his Inaugural Address in relation to that of George W. Bush. I conclude by engaging the discourse on cosmopolitan citizenship, considering both how it fits into the framework developed for this project and the relation of Obama's understandings of citizenship and foreign policy to cosmpolitanism. / Master of Arts

Towards a framework for understanding ethnic consumers' acculturation strategies in a multicultural environment: a food consumption perspectiveDey, B.L., Alwi, S., Yamoah, F., Agyepong, S.A., Kizgin, Hatice, Sarma, M. 09 September 2019 (has links)
Yes / Purpose – While it is essential to further research the growing diversity in western metropolitan cities, little
is currently known about how the members of various ethnic communities acculturate to multicultural
societies. The purpose of this paper is to explore immigrants’ cosmopolitanism and acculturation strategies
through an analysis of the food consumption behaviour of ethnic consumers in multicultural London.
Design/methodology/approach – The study was set within the socio-cultural context of London.
A number of qualitative methods such as in-depth interviews, observation and photographs were used to
assess consumers’ acculturation strategies in a multicultural environment and how that is influenced by
consumer cosmopolitanism.
Findings – Ethnic consumers’ food consumption behaviour reflects their acculturation strategies, which can
be classified into four groups: rebellion, rarefaction, resonance and refrainment. This classification
demonstrates ethnic consumers’ multi-directional acculturation strategies, which are also determined by their
level of cosmopolitanism.
Research limitations/implications – The taxonomy presented in this paper advances current
acculturation scholarship by suggesting a multi-directional model for acculturation strategies as opposed to
the existing uni-directional and bi-directional perspectives and explicates the role of consumer
cosmopolitanism in consumer acculturation. The paper did not engage host communities and there is
hence a need for future research on how and to what extent host communities are acculturated to the
multicultural environment.
Practical implications – The findings have direct implications for the choice of standardisation vs
adaptation as a marketing strategy within multicultural cities. Whilst the rebellion group are more likely to
respond to standardisation, increasing adaptation of goods and service can ideally target members of
the resistance and resonance groups and more fusion products should be exclusively earmarked for the
resonance group.
