ABSTRACT Helen Maria Williams’s ability to engage in various forms of cosmopolitan conversation – both embodied and imagined – arose from her connections to diverse religious communities. A socially conscious Presbyterian Dissenter, of Scottish and Welsh background, Williams expressed convictions regarding what we would now recognize as human rights. Through her early verse, she advocated for the autonomy of indigenous South Americans and for Africans held in slavery. Once she turned her attention to the French Revolution, she was attracted to its ideas regarding abolitionism, women’s participation in the public sphere, and forms of festivity uniting Protestants and Catholics. When imprisoned along with other British citizens, essentially held hostage at a time of war, she maintained her faith in revolutionary principles through forms of cosmopolitan creativity. Such activity, which included listening to and transcribing a collaboratively composed French hymn, reflected her identity as a religious dissenter. Twenty-first century theories of cosmopolitanism which focus on sociability – such as Kwame Anthony Appiah’s definition of cosmopolitan conversation as imaginative encounter and Elijah Anderson’s attention to cosmopolitan canopies – can help frame Williams’s collaboratively creative activities within her prison cell. Her hospitality, transcription, translation, and poetic composition arose from acts of sympathetic imagination rooted in her Dissenting cosmopolitanism.

反对世界主义和海伦玛丽亚威廉姆斯的监狱诗句

摘要 海伦·玛丽亚·威廉姆斯 (Helen Maria Williams) 能够参与各种形式的世界性对话——包括具体化的和想象的——源于她与不同宗教社区的联系。威廉姆斯是一位具有社会意识的长老会异议人士，具有苏格兰和威尔士背景，他表达了对我们现在承认的人权的信念。通过她早期的诗歌，她倡导南美洲土著和被奴役的非洲人的自治。一旦她将注意力转向法国大革命，她就被其关于废奴主义、妇女参与公共领域以及新教徒和天主教徒的节日形式的思想所吸引。当与其他英国公民一起被监禁时，基本上是在战争时期被扣为人质，她通过世界性的创造力形式保持了对革命原则的信仰。此类活动包括聆听和转录合作创作的法国赞美诗，反映了她作为宗教异议者的身份。21 世纪关注社交性的世界主义理论——例如夸梅·安东尼·阿皮亚 (Kwame Anthony Appiah) 将世界化对话定义为富有想象力的邂逅，以及以利亚·安德森 (Elijah Anderson) 对世界性檐篷的关注——可以帮助构建威廉姆斯在监狱牢房内的协作创造性活动。她的热情好客、转录、翻译和诗意创作源于植根于她反对世界主义的富有同情心的想象行为。反映了她作为宗教异议者的身份。21 世纪关注社交性的世界主义理论——例如夸梅·安东尼·阿皮亚 (Kwame Anthony Appiah) 将世界化对话定义为富有想象力的邂逅，以及以利亚·安德森 (Elijah Anderson) 对世界性檐篷的关注——可以帮助构建威廉姆斯在监狱牢房内的协作创造性活动。她的热情好客、转录、翻译和诗意创作源于植根于她反对世界主义的富有同情心的想象行为。反映了她作为宗教异议者的身份。21 世纪关注社交性的世界主义理论——例如夸梅·安东尼·阿皮亚 (Kwame Anthony Appiah) 将世界化对话定义为富有想象力的邂逅，以及以利亚·安德森 (Elijah Anderson) 对世界性檐篷的关注——可以帮助构建威廉姆斯在监狱牢房内的协作创造性活动。她的热情好客、转录、翻译和诗意创作源于植根于她反对世界主义的富有同情心的想象行为。
