Typisch Mann : Die Repräsentation von Männlichkeit in Cosmopolitan Online

2017

Sukupuolten välisestä tasa-arvosta ja siitä, että sukupuoliin liittyvien stereotyyppien käyttö tulisi lopettaa, on käyty viime vuosina keskustelua kasvavassa määrin. Jotkin mediat kuitenkin jatkavat ennakkoluulojen ja stereotyyppien vahvistamista, vaikka kaikkea ei sanottaisikaan eksplisiittisesti. Tässä kandidaatintutkielmassa keskitytään siihen, millainen kuva miehistä annetaan Cosmopolitan-lehden saksalaisella Internet-sivulla. Materiaalina käytettiin kahta miehet-palstalla julkaistua artikkelia, joista toisen aiheena oli se, millaisissa tilanteissa miehet valehtelevat ja toisen se, mitä miehet todella tarkoittavat tekstiviesteillään. Tutkimuksessa analysoitiin objektiivisuuden vuoksi my…

GIBELLINA: VANGUARD OF A COSMOPOLITAN CITY

2021

Gibellina is a city formed by orogenesis. It was reborn after a dramatic earthquake and shook the sediment off urban theory, becoming a city open to the world and to the worlds of contemporary culture; of architecture, art, theatre. To understand its revolutionary force, we must immerse ourselves in the context of 1968, when an earthquake hit the Belice Valley with a violence capable of damaging fourteen cities and razing four of them—including Gibellina— to the ground. The earthquake marked a sharp break in the historical continuity of the small, rural centre of Sicily. The original site of the town was abandoned and another city was built from scratch for the surviving inhabitants. The ci…

Consequences and Conclusion

2021

This chapter reflects the argument developed in the previous chapters, concluding that cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism is both a distinct and plausible position within the global justice debate. The chapter identifies prominent proponents and excludes others. The chapter also highlights the consequences of cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism for the evaluation and design of institutional structures on the global as well as on the domestic level.

Romanians’ current perception of threat from immigrants in a context of co-ethnic migration: assessing the role of intergroup conflict and active/pas…

2017

AbstractThis paper investigates the predictors of natives’ perception of the immigrant threat in Romania, an interesting site given immigrants’ marginal presence in the total population and the sizeable proportion of co-ethnic immigrants. Yet the interplay between nationalism and religion shapes an ideological frame that favours unwelcoming attitudes towards immigrants that challenge the Romanian identity forged along ethnic and religious ties. The authors used regression to analyse immigrant threat according to several dimensions: cosmopolitanism, group conflict and intergroup contact. In order to reflect specificities of this particular context, the latter dimension is conceptualized so a…

Cosmopolitan law and reason in Kant

2018

From Kant's cosmopolitan proposal, over and above its placing w it h in t he more specif ic space of doctrine of right, important elements emerge in connection with the project of a "critiue of reason", considered in all its architectural extension, and therefore, ultimately, in relation to what Kant really means by "human reason". And indeed - this is the hypothesis that guides the present work - precisely starting from what the treatment of cosmopolitan law reveals about the complexity of the concept of reason it becomes possible to understand in a theoretically informed way the meaning of the political-legal proposal that pervades Kant's late maturity. In order to verify this hypothesis,…

Analysis of the Standard Definition of Cosmopolitanism

2021

This chapter investigates the traditional definition of cosmopolitanism which understands cosmopolitanism as moral egalitarianism. It sets out in detail how the three core elements (individualism, universality, and generality) allow so much room for interpretation that the definition hardly provides any information on what moral egalitarianism means. It confirms that cosmopolitanism as moral egalitarianism includes almost all theories of global justice, even such that are commonly seen as opposing positions.

Cosmopolitanism About Culture: Specifying Individualism

2021

Still drawing on the classical distinction between moderate and extreme cosmopolitanism, this chapter analyses different specifications of the individualism element providing different answers to what it means to respect individuals as moral equals. The analysis eventually presents eight types of specification but rejects all of them as either still too broad or untenable. Only a hybrid type, which is composed of assumptions of different specification types, appears more promising. This defines the new concept of cosmopolitanism: cosmopolitanism as nonrelationism.

THE INNER TERRITORIES: FROM THE MARGINS TO COSMOPOLITAN CENTRES

2021

The article proposes a reflection on the cosmopolitanism linked to the “marginalised” parts of Italy, where social, economic, and infrastructural decline and the consequent abandonment of places are met with stories of renewal in which the relationship between inhabitants and foreigners constitutes the basis for starting local development processes able to activate new urban networks based on cultural interaction and to generate resilient relations, welcoming processes, and new communities. In this new “cosmopolitan nomadism”, we can recognise an opportunity for territories and communities to regenerate spatial and social relations: innovation and culture, permanent exchange, and neutral en…
