In this introductory piece, I use the concept of cosmopolitanism as a framework around which to discuss both Trieste the city and the papers that make up this special themed issue. Intriguingly, Trieste relates closely to two of the principal discursive worlds around which contemporary understandings of cosmopolitanism have been built: the more restricted usage by historians and anthropologists referring to the cities of the eastern Mediterranean, which I call here Oriental cosmopolitanism, and the aspirational cosmopolitanism of current debates around new forms of European (and indeed world) governance, which I have called European cosmopolitanism. In both these senses, Trieste prompts reflection on what cosmopolitanism may mean, not least in its passage through periods of ethnic division and conflict. I conclude by echoing the sentiments of Minca and Bialasiewicz in their contributions to this themed issue and suggesting that Trieste might indeed be well placed to serve as laboratory for a cosmopolitan European future. Dans cet article préliminaire, j'emploie le concept de cosmopolitisme comme un cadre autour duquel discuter à la fois de la ville de Trieste et des articles qui composent ce numéro spécial à thème. De façon intéressante, Trieste est étroitement liée à deux des mondes principaux discursifs autour desquels les conceptions actuelles du cosmopolitisme ont été construites: l'utilisation plus restreinte par des historiens et des anthropologues qui considère des villes de la méditerranée orientale, que j'appelle ici cosmopolitisme Oriental, et le cosmopolitisme aspirant à des débats contemporains au sujet des nouvelles formes de gouvernance européenne (et en effet de gouvernance mondiale), que j'appelle le cosmopolitisme européen. Dans ces deux sens, Trieste provoque la réflexion sur laquelle le cosmopolitisme peut signifier, du moins au vue de son passage à travers des époques de division ethnique et le conflit. Je conclus avec un rappel des sentiments de Minca et Bialasiewicz dans leurs contributions à ce numéro à thème et en suggérant que Trieste pourrait en effet être bien placée pour servir de laboratoire pour un futur européen cosmopolite. Con este artículo introductorio, utilizo el concepto de cosmopolitanidad como esquema del cual discutir la ciudad de Trieste también como los ensayos que constituyen este número especial. Curiosamente, Trieste tiene una relación cercana a dos de las esferas discursivas del cual la cosmopolitanidad contemporánea ha sido hecha: el uso más limitado por históricos y antropólogos que se refiere a las ciudades del Mediterráneo oriental, aquí llamado la cosmopolitanidad Oriental, y la cosmopolitanidad anhelada del último debate sobre nuevas formas de gobierno Europeo (y efectivamente mundial), aquí llamado la cosmopolitanidad Europeo. En los dos casos, Trieste se provoca una reflexión sobre el significado de la cosmopolitanidad, sobre todo su paso por períodos de división étnica y conflicto. Para concluir, resueno los sentimientos de Minca y Bialasiewicz expresados en sus contribuciones a este número temático, sugiriendo que Trieste podría servir bien como laboratorio por un futuro cosmopolito Europeo.

A number of others participated in the round-table—Simon Parker (University of York), Dave Clarke (Swansea University) and David Bell, Debbie Phillips, David Sibley, Rachael Unsworth and Gill Valentine (all at the University of Leeds). I would like to thank them all for their involvement and support, and in particular David Sibley for his interest and advice over the time it has taken to move from round-table to papers in print. I would also like to thank Rob Kitchin and Phil Hubbard for their editorial tutelage, as well as the referees for this paper in particular and the other papers more generally
