A Bergman Rosamond - Chapter on Celebrity Anti-War Activism

Bergman Rosamond's recent book chapter "The Cosmopolitan-Communitarian Divide and Celebrity Anti-War Activism" in Tsaliki, L. et al. (eds.), Transnational Celebrity Activism in Global Politics Changing the World, Chicago: the University of Chicago Press, 2011, focuses on celebrity contestations of prevailing security cultures, discourses and practices in global politics, and the extent to which celebrities can shift the boundaries of ethical responsibility to include their fellow citizens as well as those of other nations. The conceptual arguments are sustained through the provision of a case study that deals with a select few celebrities' cosmopolitan and communitarian oppositions to war and intervention, these include Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon and George Clooney.
