Abstract
This paper will argue that cosmopolitan belonging can be just as powerful as national belonging, and that questions of affect – and specifically joy – are crucial to understanding the forms of attachment that might emerge in culturally diverse suburbs. It will also argue that the ironic distance often associated with ‘elite’ cosmopolitanism needs to be augmented by an understanding of forms of ‘ironic inclusion’ in everyday cosmopolitanism
