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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bruce Robbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.96w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814775141\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobbins, Bruce:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cb\u003eBruce Robbins\u003c\/b\u003e is Old Dominion Foundation Professor in the Humanities at Columbia University.
