The Cosmopolitan Mediterranean: Myth and reality

Abstract

The unity of as a cultural region has been discussed in anthropology exclusively by means of structural characteristics. The question if the Mediterranean means anything at all to our informants has hardly entered discussion. The focus of this article is threefold: first, discursive use of as cosmopolitan, both in fields of political ideology and local identifications is envisioned. Second, cosmopolitan forms of local social organization are analyzed. It argues that current boom of term Cosmopolitanism in academia is discussed as stripped off its cultural and social embeddedness. Using article shows that as lived identification and social organization, cosmopolitanism is not necessarily opposed to local ways of living.
