Diary from a Journey into Another World: Diaries Against Nationalism, Inspired by Trying to Overcome Personal Resentments Peter Herrmann

Cosmopolitans... - it is reasonably easy to define what it means; it is increasingly the case that we come across them. But it may be rare to see reflections that are both, sociologically well informed and at the same time entertaining - a Turkish friend from Australia suggested to the author of the present notes to call it sociotainment... - though she admitted that she got the term from her husband from India... Sometimes it's easier to find oneself while being lost. And the present volume invites to get lost, offering the reader the opportunity to think about her and his place. These are notes: reflections (from an academic who considers himself also as politically aware and in some way active) that bring together the different dimensions of being carried away to rest in different places and positions.
