Heritage and Cosmopolitanism
Cosmopolitanism describes a wide variety of important positions in moral and sociopolitical philosophy brought together by the belief that we are all citizens of the world who have responsibilities to others, regardless of political affiliation. As archeologists and heritage experts, our obligations may entail addressing the political and economic depredations of past regimes, enhancing local livelihoods, and publicizing the impacts of war or human rights issues. Archeologists are increasingly being called upon to straddle these multiple scales, in large part because of the nature of their fieldwork, but also, and more importantly, because heritage now occupies a new position in the global movements of development, conservation, post‐conflict restoration, and indigenous rights. This chapter asks how might cosmopolitan heritage discourse and practice prepare us for these emergent struggles, in which archeological pasts are drawn into contemporary struggles for recognition and self‐determination.
