الكوسموبوليتية الجمالية الثقافية و اختبار المقارنة : حالة الشباب في فرنسا و في تونس \

Abstract EN

The increasing international circulation of cultural products and references profoundly changes the framework of reception of young people, who are the most involved in the globalization of culture.

This chapter intends to understand how young French and Tunisians socialize with otherness - real and/or dreamed of - through cultural consumption and thus nourish imaginations from elsewhere, which resonate (or not) with their mobility or their linguistic dispositions.

From the perspective of aesthetic - cultural cosmopolitanism, this text argues that a new figure of the consumer has been born in the age of cultural globalization: the cosmopolitan amateur (Cicchelli and Octobre, 2018).

The latter uses cultural content to nourish its relationship to the world, to varying degrees, more or less conscious and committed, and for contrasting results, ranging from openness to critical distance.

The article is based on in - depth interviews conducted with young people in both countries (N in France = 43, N in Tunisia = 35).
