Koncepta lokalnega in globalnega danes pomenita veliko in prav zaradi tega malo. Posebej očitno to vprašanje postane v navezavi na kulturo, ki je ni mogoče zadržati v okviru kakršnih koli meja. Na podlagi literarnega in esejističnega dela Aleša Debeljaka skuša članek oblikovati drugačen pristop k temu vprašanju, in sicer izhajajoč iz pesnikovega koncepta kozmopolitizma. Kot otrok nekdanje Jugoslavije je Debeljak razumel identiteto kot širjenje koncentričnih krogov iz Slovenije preko Jugoslavije v Ameriko. Članek se tako ukvarja z zoperstavitvijo koncepta identitete ter s pozicijami lokalnega, globalnega in stanj vmes.The concepts of local and global today mean a lot and for that very reason little. This issue becomes particularly evident in relation to culture, which cannot be contained within any boundaries. Based on the literary and essayistic work of Aleš Debeljak, the article tries to formulate a different approach to this question, starting from the poet's concept of cosmopolitanism. As a child of the former Yugoslavia, Debeljak understood identity as the spread of concentric circles from Slovenia through Yugoslavia to America. The article thus deals with the opposition of the concept of identity and the positions of local, global and states in between.
