Cosmopolitanism and the question of sovereignty
Ulrike Kistner - Personal Name
Cosmopolitanism has variously been credited with the possibility of
framing human rights in an international order, being more capacious than statecentric
sovereignty. However, this casting puts the very definition of the political at
risk. This article seeks to address the question as to how to think the political and its
binding force with and apart from sovereignty. I would want to argue that sovereignty
has and should retain its place—in the formation of political subjectivity, and
as normative horizon. At the same time, I wish to explore elements of a symbolic
relationship between citizen and subject that could indicate ways of thinking the
political subjectivity of the cosmopolites. One of the resources for such symbolisation
can be found in the genre of the fable, closely shadowing the theorisation of
sovereignty, while transversally crossing its claims, relating otherwise mutually
exclusive identifications with each other.
