Cosmopolitanism has been a vital master concept for understanding modern and modernist processes of global circulation, disjunction, and transnational/translational formations and subjectivities. Today, the displacement of more than 122 million refugees, migrants, and forcibly displaced persons driven by environmental catastrophes, economic hardships, and small and large-scale perpetual wars in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia points to the radical dislocation of the symbolic structure we used to call “world.” Is the concept of cosmopolitanism still useful for interrogating this generalized sense of global crisis? Can cosmopolitanism still be posited as a radical utopian horizon from which to oppose the militarization of the globe? What is the ethico-political potential today of “a cosmopolitanism without a world”? This seminar is not about the very real historical suffering and losses of those whose bodies are wounded by the political, economic, military, and environmental upheavals; rather, it is about the post-cosmopolitan traces of those experiences in art, literature, film, and theory, and about how we can determine what art and the critical humanities can and can no longer do about the contemporary experience of what we will call “the end of the world.
