Evidence

In one of his last published essays, Ulrich Beck (2011) engages at length Benedict Anderson and applies the idea of imagined communities to his own transnational concept of “risk cosmopolitanism.” — Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Speculative Communities, 714

Categorization

• XREF: Direct payoff for the reader’s finance/imagination theme — imagining community through shared risk parallels the book’s speculation/imagination connection. — connects to: Beck adapted imagined communities into a risk-cosmopolitanism framework.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: how exactly does Beck’s risk cosmopolitanism reframe Anderson’s national imagined community? The excerpt is thin on mechanism.
