Bruce Robbins responds to this and other questions in \u003cb\u003eFeeling Global\u003c\/b\u003e, a crucial document on nationalism, culturalism, and the role of intellectuals in the age of globalization.\u003cbr\u003e Building on his previous work, Robbins here takes up the question of the status of international human rights. Robbins' conception of internationalism is driven not only by the imperatives of global human rights policy, but by an understanding of transnational cultures, thus linking practical policymaking to cultural politics at the expense of neither. Robbins' cultural criticism, in other words, affords us much more than an understanding of how culture \"shapes our lives.\" Instead, Robbins shows, particularly in his discussions of Martha Nussbaum, Richard Rorty, Susan Sontag, Michael Walzer and others, how \"culture\" itself has become a term that blocks—for commentators on both the right and the left—serious engagement with the contemporary cosmopolitan ideal of a nonuniversalist discourse of human rights.\u003cbr\u003e Rescuing \"cosmopolitanism\" itself from its connotations of leisured individuals loyal to no one and willing to sample all cultures at will, \u003cb\u003eFeeling Global\u003c\/b\u003e presents a compelling way to think about the ethical obligations of intellectuals at a time when their place in the new world order is profoundly uncertain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bruce Robbins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48273376608507,"sku":"9780814775134","price":107.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_26e4495c-01fc-44e6-a465-b10dada27599.jpg?v=1771017345","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/feeling-global-9780814775134","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
