Whose America? -- Notes -- IndexGlobal Fragments offers an innovative analysis of globalization that aims to circumvent the sterile dichotomies that either praise or demonize globalization. Eduardo Mendieta applies an interdisciplinary approach to one of the most fundamental experiences of globalization: the mega-urbanization of humanity. The claim that globalization unsettles our epistemic maps of the world is tested against a study of Latin America. Mendieta also recontextualizes the work of three major theorists of globalization—Enrique Dussel, Cornel West, and Jürgen Habermas—to show how their thinking reflects engagement with central problems of globalization and, conversely, how globalization itself is exemplified through the reception of their work. Beyond the epistemic hubris of social theories that seek to accept or reject a globalized world, Mendieta calls for a dialogic cosmopolitanism that departs from the mutuality of teaching and learning in a world that is global but not totalized.GlobalizationGlobalizationPhilosophyGlobalizationSocial aspectsLatin AmericaCivilization, Modern21st centuryCritical theoryLatin AmericaForeign relations1980-Globalization.GlobalizationPhilosophy.GlobalizationSocial aspectsCivilization, ModernCritical theory.303.48/201Mendieta Eduardo254443MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823703503321Global fragments4030892UNINA
