ABSTRACT
This chapter shows how everyday ethnographies' in people's private homes shows may contribute to trace out the different modes of banal cosmopolitanism' enacted in relation to the afterlife of tourist performances and experiences. It suggests the notions of orientalist cosmopolitanism and connective cosmopolitanism to capture the different modes of banal cosmopolitanism at work in a world in which the global' is increasingly part of mundane experiences. The chapter emphasizes that apart from an emerging culture of aesthetic cosmopolitanism among particular a social groups, other modes of cosmopolitanism, may be enabled by current transformations of everyday life and travel. It argues that the banal cosmopolitanism' of tourist performances and experiences need to be routed' in order to grasp emerging cosmopolitan orientations in contemporary everyday life. The chapter presents that tourism indeed makes way for new ways of banal cosmopolitanism' but that such cosmopolitan orientations in tourist and everyday life performances indeed at the same time may re-emphasize and reproduce orientalist scripts.
