Given that the exhibition ranges from 1890s Paris to 1960s Tehran, it is striking how much the venues have in common with each other: their dependency on globalisation and cosmopolitanism, their historical contexts of upheaval and strife and the collisions of their radical aims with reality.

What Hynes is drawn to is the era's range of possibilities, the fluid futurism that no longer seems imaginable: the radical coyness of Prince, the classy sheen of British funk, the cosmopolitanism of early hip-hop and electro, the cool composure of Sade and Janet Jackson.

Dalston Junction, a now-trendy part of the borough, buzzes with a down-at-heel sort of cosmopolitanism: a Caribbean bakery; the Halal Dixy Chicken shop; the Afro World wig-and-extensions parlour; dozens of outlets for Lycamobile ("call the world for less") and for money-transfer firms.

But 2016 has still sucked, dominated by a depressing rejection of cosmopolitanism in the UK, the ongoing refugee crisis fueled by civil war in Syria, and an inescapable presidential election here in the US that dragged the whole world through the sewer (and has, arguably, left it there).

The far-right populism and talk of bigoted xenophobia from many non-big-city whites, who have been left behind by globalized capitalism, by the economic policies of Western governments and by the growing cosmopolitanism of urbanites and the young, has become a force in almost every Western democracy.

As the Jewish state's political and cultural debate has shifted to the right, Benjamin Netanyahu has embraced the view that European Jewry's old enemy, Christian nationalism, is less dangerous to the Jewish future than the dissolving effects of liberal cosmopolitanism and the threat posed by Islamist anti-Semitism.

For "Volume Eleven (Flaw in the Algorithm of Cosmopolitanism)" (2016), Mr. Mohaiemen digs into another interesting episode in 20th-century history: his great-uncle, the Bengali writer Syed Mujtaba Ali, who wrote in support of Hitler's Germany in the late 683s as a way of challenging the British Empire.

National loyalty, far from being inimical to a more just and decent world in which all, including the world's poorest, can flourish, is seen by Collier as a firmer foundation for global cooperation than abstract cosmopolitanism, which all too often serves as a mask for unenlightened self-interest.

Greatly influenced by the European avant-garde and the renewed interest in classicism, many artists associated with this group focused on portraiture, depicting Mexico City's flappers and members of the homosexual community in a celebration of cosmopolitanism that ran counter to the mural painters' disdain for bourgeois individualism.

Mr. Spahn in particular might be ready for the top spot, given his ability to tack between cosmopolitanism — he's openly gay, and recently married his longtime partner — and public angst over the dissolution of German identity: He recently complained that he couldn't order a coffee in Berlin without speaking English.

The argument is simple: The radical changes to our behavior required by a strong cosmopolitanism — which holds that we have an obligation to treat all people the same — would entail abandoning too much of what gives shape and meaning to our lives in the first place (our families, communities and so on).

The contemporary divide between the Democratic and Republican Parties closely aligns with an ideological divide between what we call modern liberalism (a bundle of issue positions favoring activist and redistributive government and cultural tolerance and cosmopolitanism, and more) and modern conservatism (a bundle of positions favoring limited government and cultural traditionalism, and more).

Over the past month, I spent some time doing close readings of Breitbart articles published during and after the campaign, and came away with an overarching conclusion: For Bannon and Trump's core group of supporters, the president's victory was a rejection of multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism, and globalization, and the triumph of white, Christian populist nationalism.

To remember the tumid boomer individualism of Bill Clinton's years in office, or the Wile E. Coyote triumphalism of Bush's, or the studiously cool cosmopolitanism of Obama's, you need only to look at the cultures over which they presided; even the creative work that was conceived and created in open protest against them reflects it.

Nor should you be surprised that this, in turn, provokes greater tribalism among native dissenters from a pure cosmopolitanism – be they stark dissenters like Trump voters or Le Pen supporters, or milder dissenters like the sixty-three percent of German women who now feel that Germany's has welcomed too many migrants in the last year.

In an article entitled "The Ten Ideologies of America," the pseudonymous Breitbart writer Virgil defines cosmopolitanism as: …the view that we are all, everywhere, a part of a single world community, and that such things as nation-states, including the United States, only slow down the fulfillment of our true destiny — coming together in a global harmonic convergence….

And at Slate, Jamelle Bouie provides a compelling explanation for the new force that opened the door for Trump's politics of white racial resentment — Barack Obama: For millions of white Americans who weren't attuned to growing diversity and cosmopolitanism, however, Obama was a shock, a figure who appeared out of nowhere to dominate the country's political life.

In my own case — to speak as an insider for a moment — my cosmopolitanism probably peaked when I was about 11 years old, when I was simultaneously attending tongues-speaking Pentecostalist worship services, playing Little League in a working-class neighborhood, eating alongside aging hippies in macrobiotic restaurants on weekends, all the while attending a liberal Episcopalian parochial school.

Its opposite, which I call cosmopolitanism (for lack of a better term), is the impulse to push circles of concern outward, to extend cooperation and communion, to bring more people under the banner of Us. History is defined by the waxing and waning of these two impulses — tentative cosmopolitan extensions outward, followed inevitably by tribalist backlashes.

Decorated with symbols of mudfish, an amphibious creature that suggested the king's dominion over both land and water, and Portuguese faces, alluding to the trading networks that gave him his economic might, the bracelet was "a fantastic piece about power and cosmopolitanism in a global world back in the 16th and 17th centuries," Ms. Holcomb said.

But in expanding on those themes he went somewhere that Fox hosts rarely go — from culture into economics, from a critique of liberal cosmopolitanism into a critique of libertarianism, from a lament for the decline of the family to an argument that this decline can be laid at the feet of consumer capitalism as well as social liberalism.

We could be at the very beginning of an era defined by a battle between the far-right, racist nationalists and the kind of liberal cosmopolitanism that transformed the world after World War II. Marine Le Pen is at the top of the French presidential polls; her leading rival, the center-right Republican party's Francois Fillon, has similarly aggressive views on immigration and multiculturalism.

It's about a worldview, and it's a worldview that, again, is classically liberal in that it celebrates local cultures and local traditions, but then it also blends that with the kind of cosmopolitanism that comes out of a kind of appreciation for universal human rights and the idea that we're all equal and we should try and discover how best to live our lives.

He claims that as late as '39, when he was ordered to Obersalzberg, Berlin was the one place in Germany where he could still breathe in the dimly lingering cosmopolitanism of the Weimar years—when it was a riotously polyglot town, an immigrant town, Social Democratic to Communist to anarchist at its working-class core, and had, in fact, cast the lowest percentage of National Socialist votes of any German state.

And somehow the combination of pious obligation joined to cosmopolitanism gave the old establishment a distinctive competence and effectiveness in statesmanship — one that from the late-19th century through the middle of the 1960s was arguably unmatched among the various imperial elites with whom our establishment contended, and that certainly hasn't been matched by our feckless leaders in the years since George H.W. Bush went down to political defeat.

But a "liberalism without/conservatism within" combination is common to minority populations, and it's a particularly reasonable reaction to the experience of Jewish history: An oft-persecuted people's flourishing can both depend on maintaining a certain conservatism about its own patterns of marrying and begetting and cultural transmission (and, in the case of Israel, the safety of its lonely nation-state), and on encouraging liberalism and cosmopolitanism in the wider, potentially-hostile order in which the diaspora subsists.

I think on a certain level, the right and the left, while they got the large story wrong about the Kochs, on another level they're right to say that these guys are the inheritors of a kind of 19th-century cosmopolitanism that believes in local governance and living in particular places, but are also very interested in kind of a cosmopolitan worldview that goes beyond Wichita, that goes beyond America, and embraces all aspects of the world.

" The same article suggested that traditional valentines were for bumpkins and that city sophisticates had moved on: "Our country cousins, judged by St. Valentine's Day, still retain that primitive sentimentality which prompts this bashful mode of confessing even vaguely to the existence of the tender passion, while the more matter-of-fact denizen of the Metropolis either has more nerve to openly declare his or her love, or, with the spirit of cosmopolitanism, considers the time-honored custom of sending valentines as befitting only past and more puerile ages and peoples.
