He explained that the difference resided, in part, in time. Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveller belonging no more to one place than to the next, moves slowly over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another\u00bb. Or, to put it another way: as opposed to the &#8220;local&#8221; element, there exists a sort of \u00ab cosmopolitan avant la letter \u00bb or \u00abcitizen of the world \u00bb who, far from following the interests of the herd, is capable of discovering the essence of villages (?) without, however, ever falling prey to the risk posed of being still for too long or worse still renouncing exoticism as a principle motor of his particular, <em>\u00e9lan vital<\/em> (to borrow Bergson\u2019s concept).<\/p>\n<p>In this sense, the resurgence of what [[\u00d2scar Jan\u00e9 i Xavier Serra [eds.], Ultralocalisme. D\u2019all\u00f2 local a l\u2019universal, Ed. Afers, Catarroja (Pa\u00eds Valenci\u00e0), 2013]] has quite rightly called the \u00abInternational ultra-localist\u00bb shouldn\u2019t surprise us. The idea is launched in the prologue of the magnificent book of articles he has compiled \u2013along with Xavier Serra- under the title of &#8220;Ultralocalisme. D&#8217;all\u00f2 local a l&#8217;universal&#8221;. According to Jan\u00e9, it&#8217;s about refuting this ever so customary form of cosmopolitan modernity that, sheltering under the guise of a cool universalism, evades the past of oppression and colonization that maintains it: \u00abIn reality -explains Jan\u00e9 \u2013 in the subordinate areas of culture we are experiencing the era of <em>cosmopaletisme<\/em> (cosmopolitrash). A <em>cosmopaletisme<\/em>, where capital-cities convert into simple, secondary nodes (provincial nodes) in the network of the large metropolises. So, Tokyo, London or New York [&#8230;] are the mirrors of a Barcelona lost in its yearning for cultural grandeur and which rejects, for reasons of social marketing, an intricate and dense, but active and compelling heritage\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Jacques Ranci\u00e8re \u2013a Frenchman born in Argelia like Camus and as such an eternal foreigner- is the author of some finely honed reflections regarding this form of thought of no return [[Jacques Ranci\u00e8re, Mirmanda, Revista de Cultura, 1, 2006, pp. 36-42.]]: \u00ab The good awareness of the universal is nothing more than the very arrogance that constructs the genre through a process of exclusion. As far as difference is concerned it is only indifference that leaves pending the lethal games of the own and the specific. The problem is never the foreigner, the one from afar. It is the one from close by, the almost-other [&#8230;] This other that is too close, different but not different enough, who causes us to suffer the sweetest form of violence, the hardest to tolerate. This violence isn\u2019t that of the shock of cultures. It reminds us simply of where we come from, shattering the happy certainty that we belong and it belongs to us [&#8230;] Nomadic reasoning has nothing to do with the cosmopolitics of the fairground that every day takes on in a clearer manner the face of neo-colonial arrogance. It is the long journey that brings us closer, little by little, to the conquest of singularity and to the community of men without belonging. The human community is a community of extraordinary exiled men.\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Exiled, in the final instance, they must coexist and support the aplomb of the \u00ab<em>cosmopaletos<\/em>\u00bb: condescending beings who have custody of a distant, very distant truth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The question, invariably formulated in English, could be the following: &#8220;Are you a tourist or a traveller?&#8221;
