Cosmopolitanism is not an ethical position picked off the shelves of moral or political philosophy; cosmopolitanism is a disposition carved out of the struggles of the self, the cravings and anxieties, fears and desires that navigate our being in the world. The polysemic nature of the terms screen, frame and focus enables a cross-pollinating analysis of cultural texts and photographic experimentation. Foregrounding the experiential and autobiographical, this essay proposes a deeply relational approach to cosmopolitanism as critical and creative practice.
