Perpetual War
EN NWISBN: 9780822352099 bzw. 0822352095, in Englisch, Duke University Press, Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, neu.
For two decades Bruce Robbins has been a theorist of and participant in the movement for a "new cosmopolitanism," an appreciation of the varieties of multiple belonging that emerge as peoples and cultures interact. In Perpetual War he takes stock of this movement, rethinking his own commitment and reflecting on the responsibilities of American intellectuals today. In this era of seemingly endless U.S. warfare, Robbins contends that the declining economic and political hegemony of the United States will tempt it into blaming other nations for its problems and lashing out against them. Under these conditions, cosmopolitanism in the traditional sense?primary loyalty to the good of humanity as a whole, even if it conflicts with loyalty to the interests of one's own nation?becomes a necessary resource in the struggle against military aggression. To what extent does the "new" cosmopolitanism also include or support this "old" cosmopolitanism? In an attempt to answer this question, Robbins engages with such thinkers as Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, Anthony Appiah, Immanuel Wallerstein, Louis Menand, W. G. Sebald, and Slavoj Zizek. The paradoxes of detachment and belonging they embody, he argues, can help define the tasks of American intellectuals in an era when the first duty of the cosmopolitan is to resist the military aggression perpetrated by his or her own country.

In "Perpetual War," the distinguished cultural theorist Bruce Robbins turns his attention to cosmopolitanism, arguing that the moral import of the concept must be restored. Where it once stood for a loyalty that transcended the nation and encompassed humanity as a whole, cosmopolitanism has come to indicate the movement of peoples and cultures and the creative mixtures that emerge as they interact. "Perpetual War" is an impassioned call for American intellectuals to reconfigure cosmopolitanism for our time, partly by recovering its humanist ethics.Robbins develops his entreaty through a series of essays. In each one, he engages with the thought of a notable intellectual, from Noam Chomsky, Edward Said, and Anthony Appiah to Immanuel Wallerstein, Louis Menand, W. G. Sebald, and Slavoj Zizek. The goal of the antinationalist cosmopolitanism that Robbins advocates is not "respect for the other" but resistance to military aggression. Given the death and destruction that the United States has wrought during the past decade, the critique of American nationalism is the urgent task of American intellectuals in the present moment.
