在最近关于跨国司法的讨论中，人们对世界主义重新产生了兴趣，认为这是一种伦理政治要求，并承诺在一个后国家、全球化的世界中实现地球的欢乐。面对日益增长的全球相互依赖，世界主义项目有望为跨国公民运动提供便利，这可能会促进建立民主的全球机构。作为全球正义、和平与民主的代言人，这位“世界主义者”的形象已经声名鹊起。面对日益增加的资本、商品、人员、思想和形象的跨国流动，国际大都市似乎克服了狭隘的基于领土的从属关系，转而效忠全人类。这样一种扩张性的世界公民意识，其规范理想是追求“跨国界的团结”。自由主义世界主义的批评者强调了全球资本的幽灵，这被视为一种世界性情感出现的必要前提条件。有人认为，世界主义抹杀了世界主义、新殖民主义和经济全球化之间的连续性，从而保持了全球精英的特权不变。这给我们留下了一个挑战，即如何从后殖民世界重新想象世界主义，并为其重新设想？正义和权利的分配者和被编码为接受者之间的不连续性如何才能消除？这篇论文从女权主义-后殖民主义的角度批判性地涉及全球正义、发展政治、人权、非殖民化和民主化的话语。
In recent discussions on transnational justice, there has been renewed interest in cosmopolitanism as an ethico-political imperative and commitment to planetary conviviality in a postnational, globalized world. In the face of growing global interdependence, the project of cosmopolitanism promises to facilitate a transnational citizen’s movement, which could potentially galvanize the establishment of democratic global institutions. The figure of the ‘cosmopolitan’ has gained prominence as an agent of global justice, peace and democracy. In the face of increased transnational movement of capital, commodities, people, ideas, and images, cosmopolitans seemingly overcome narrow territorial-based affiliations in favour of an allegiance to all of humanity. Such an expansive consciousness of world citizenship has the pursuit of ‘solidarity across borders’ as its normative ideal. Detractors of liberal cosmopolitanism highlight the spectre of global capital which is seen as the necessary pre-condition for the emergence of a cosmopolitan sensibility. It is argued that cosmopolitanism leaves intact the privileges of the global elite by erasing the continuities between cosmopolitanism, neo-colonialism and economic globalization. This leaves us with the challenge of how to reimagine cosmopolitanism from and for the postcolonial world? How can the discontinuity between the dispensers of justice and rights and those coded as receivers be undone? The paper critically engages with discourses of global justice, development politics, human rights, decolonisation and democratisation from a feminist-postcolonial perspective.
