POPKEWITZ, Thomas S.; OLSSON, Ulf  y  PETERSSON, Kenneth. Sociedade da aprendizagem, cosmopolitismo, saúde pública e prevenção à criminalidade. Educ. Real. [online]. 2009, vol.34, n.02, pp.73-96. ISSN 0100-3143.

The learning society expresses principles of a universal humanity and a promise of progress that seem to transcend the nation. The paper indicates how this society is governed in the name of a cosmopolitan ideal that despite its universal pretensions embodies particular inclusions and exclusions. These occur through inscribing distinctions and differentiations between the characteristics of those who embody a cosmopolitan reason that brings social progress and personal fulfilment and those who do not embody the cosmopolitan principles of civility and normalcy. Mapping the circulation of the notion of the learning society in arenas of Swedish health and criminal justice, and Swedish and US school reforms is to examine the mode of life of the citizen of this society: the learner, as a representative of the unfinished cosmopolitanism.
