High Prevalence of Antibiotic Resistance in Traditionally Fermented Foods as a Critical Risk Factor for Host Gut Antibiotic Resistome
This study aimed to assess the suitability of fermented food interventions to replenish damaged gut microbiota. Metagenomic assessment of published sequencing data found that fermented food interventions led to a significant increase in the gut antibiotic resistome in healthy human subjects. Antibiotic resistome and viable antibiotic-resistant (AR) bacteria were further highly prevalent in retail kimchi and artisan cheeses by metagenomic and cult…
The Summer of Discontent: Achille Mbembe in Germany
The Ruhrtriennale Cultural Festival, a distinguished cultural festival in Germany, invited Achille Mbembe, a leading African theorist of post-colonialism, to give the opening lecture in August 2020
Ulrich Becks kosmopolitisches Projekt: Auf dem Weg in eine andere Soziologie
The theory of a reflexive or second modernity developed by Ulrich Beck has decisively influenced sociological debate in Germany and, increasingly, internationally. It is based on the thesis of epochal change among modern societies, i.e. a fundamental transformation of their forms and scopes. The current consequence is the perspective of a cosmopolitan sociology, which sheds the shackles of nation-state thinking and conducts a cross-border analysi…
James Loeffler. Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century
James Loeffler’s Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century is about Jewish cosmopolitanism. This in itself is a contested term. There is no uniform interpretation of it in the growing literature. The boundaries to contested terms like “globalization,” “transnationalism,” and “universalism” are not distinct. The combination of the terms “cosmopolitan” and “Jewish” is, of course, a very delicate one. In the history of the…
The other Frankfurt school
Scp>Beck,Ulrich (1944–2015)
Ulrich Beck was a German social theorist of modernity and an advocate of a cosmopolitan approach to the social sciences. He is widely recognized for developing the concept of risk societies , borderless societies characterized by the distribution of dangers rather than of goods
Cosmopolitanization of Memory
This chapter investigates how 1990s post-Yugoslav evocations of cosmopolitanism projected openness in opposition to hegemonizing nationalisms, and which closures were encapsulated within this process. In the 1990s Serbia and Croatia violence against national others was banalized and war criminals were widely celebrated as national heroes. Lamont and Aksartova argued that the 'opposition of nationalism to cosmopolitanism conveys the fundamental te…
Globales Amerika: Die Kulturellen Folgen der Globalisierung
Borders, passports, and the global mobility
The border examination is crucial for understanding the porosity of borders and the viscos ity of the global mobility regime, because it is at the border that the claims to citizenship, entry, or asylum are adjudicated. The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative requires Canadians to present passports at borders, although they are subject to biometric capture through US-VISIT. Mobility is one of the distinguishing characters of modern globalization…
Ghosts of the Holocaust in Franco’s mass graves: Cosmopolitan memories and the politics of “never again”
This essay presents a sociological analysis of what is known in Spain as the “recovery of historical memory” and the politics deriving from this recovery. This process was catalyzed by the exhumations of the remains of victims of Francoism that have been under way since the beginning of the twenty-first century. In order to do this, we will use the literature on cosmopolitan sociology and provide a dialogue between this sociology and recent devel…
Hannah Arendt: Jew and Cosmopolitan
This paper deals with the difference between universalism and cosmo-politanism. If I understand correctly, what makes cosmopolitanism distinctive is that it is always rooted in a specific identity which realizes that it is specific, and always endeavours to tolerate all other identities. Universalism on the other hand is based on the illusion that it can transcend specific identities—and in fact endeavours to impose a single identity on everyone.…
Ulrich Beck and classical sociological theory
Remembering a sociology of Human Rights
A sociology of human rights sounds almost like a contradiction in terms. Sociology is about social groups, about particular experiences, about how people, embedded in space and time, make sense of their lives and give meaning to their world. It deals with power and interest and the social bases of our experiences. On the other hand, human rights are about human beings in general, without temporal or spatial references, not about groups and their …

Unpacking cosmopolitanism for the social sciences: A Research Agenda
This article calls for a re-conceptualization of the social sciences by asking for a cosmopolitan turn. The intellectual undertaking of redefining cosmopolitanism is a trans-disciplinary one, which includes geography, anthropology, ethnology, international relations, international law, political philosophy and political theory, and now sociology and social theory. Methodological nationalism, which subsumes society under the nation-state, has unti…
Hannah Arendt's Jewish Cosmopolitanism: Between the Universal and the Particular
This article conceptualizes the lofty term of cosmopolitanism from people's historical experience. It attempts to find a bridge between theory and life. Many writers now maintain that cosmopolitanism is no longer a dream, but rather the substance of social reality - and that it is increasingly the nation-state and our particular identities that are figments of our imagination, clung to by our memories. The aim of this article is to concretize thi…

Terrorism and the Social Contract
The only way to erect such a common power, as may be able to defend them from the invasion of foreigners, and the injuries of one another, and thereby to secure them in such sort as that by their own industry and by the fruits of the earth they may nourish themselves and live contentedly, is to confer all their power and strength upon one man, or upon one assembly of men, that may reduce all their wills, by plurality of voices, unto one will: whi…
Sovereignty transformed: A Sociology of Human Rights1
This paper examines how global interdependencies and the consolidation of a human rights discourse are transforming national sovereignty. Social researchers frequently address the supremacy of state sovereignty and the absoluteness of human rights as mutually exclusive categories. However, rather than presupposing that a universal rights discourse is necessarily leading to the demise of sovereignty, we suggest that an increasingly de-nationalized…

Memory Unbound: The Holocaust and the Formation of Cosmopolitan Memory
This article analyzes the distinctive forms that collective memories take in the age of globalization. It studies the transition from national to cosmopolitan memory cultures. Cosmopolitanism refers to a process of 'internal globalization' through which global concerns become part of local experiences of an increasing number of people. Global media representations, among others, create new cosmopolitan memories, providing new epistemological vant…

The democratization perspective suggests that with the lessening of profoundly categorical and corpora…

Memories of Universal Victimhood: The Case of Ethnic German Expellees
Images of German victims have become a ubiquitous feature of political debates and mass-mediated cultural events in recent years. This paper argues that changing representations of the Holocaust have served as a political cultural prism through which histories of German victimhood can be renegotiated. More specifically, we explore how the centrality of the Holocaust in Germany informs how the postwar expulsion of twelve million ethnic Germans has…

This article analyzes the formation and expression of collective interest in the moral and physical well-being of children. `Compassion' is the term used to define a concern with the suffering of others, accompanied by the urge to help.

Globales Amerika?: Die kulturellen Folgen der Globalisierung
Seit einigen Jahren wird in den Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaften international kaum ein Phänomen so lebhaft diskutiert wie das der Globalisierung. Nachdem die zu Anfang vorherrschende Sichtweise von Globalisierung als Entwicklung einer homogenen Weltkultur zunehmend an Evidenz verlor, rücken die lokal unterschiedlichen kulturellen Praktiken und Perspektiven als Teil von Globalisierung ins Zentrum des Interesses.
