Cosmopolitization
Social identities emerge out of particular social structures that incorporate the elements space, time, and memory. These elements are continuously negotiated, a process in which travel plays an important role. While limited or virtual traveling (e.g. by watching TV) might enforce local embedment in juxtaposition to an imagined or perceived other (such as a neighboring country), massive mobility might instead transform social identities towards a cosmopolitan configuration of the self as localities and their characteristics lose importance with respect to space, time, and memory (Urry, 1995). In other words: travel, both for work and tourism, disrupts the very sense of what is a person’s home. Without this sense, citizens do not perceive themselves as part of places any longer, and develop cosmopolitan identities. Tourism can thus be seen as an agent of modernization, which decontextualizes and dissolves the relationships individuals have with society and nature. In the context of global environmental change, this is problematic because cosmopolitan people may increasingly lose their understanding of the ecological limits of places, for which local knowledge is required, and, ultimately, the very responsibility to care for places. This is of importance, because decreasing local attachment seems to develop in parallel with increasing resource consumption (cf. Borgstr .om-Hansson and Wackernagel, 1999)
