초록
This paper explores various ironical facets of the idea, or the ideal, of a cosmopolis in Don DeLillo’s Cosmopolis. This essay also offers a critical reflection upon cosmopolitan irony as cosmopolitan virtue. Having been reviewed as DeLillo’s first post-9/11 novel, Cosmopolis has been much acclaimed as describing the collapse of homo technologicus through its analogy between the novel’s protagonist Eric Packer and the World Trade Center. This article relocates the focus of reading from the aftermath of 9/11 to its titular ironic embodiment of cosmopolis in New York City, the center of global capitalism. This approach presupposes that the diachronic point of view that originates from eighteenth-century Enlightenment Cosmopolitanism is more helpful in tracing the complicated ironical aspects of (anti-) cosmopolitan practices in DeLillo’s novel. This paper traces the history of cosmopolitanism and the meaning of the term cosmopolitan, especially from Kant’s “Toward Perpetual Peace” through Marx and Engels’s Communist Manifesto and finally to cosmopolitanisms of the present. Then it interprets Cosmopolis as the product of a contemporary cosmopolitanism as part of the project of capitalism, a cosmopolitan- ism also known as neoliberalism.
