233 | P á g i n a RESUMO Na intenção de ampliar os estudos a respeito da mobilidade acadêmica e suas diversas expressões, esse artigo tem por objetivo compreender os diferentes fatores de motivação no processo de definição por estudantes estrangeiros, para um período de estudos em outro país. Compreender os fatores que podem influenciar essa escolha, no contexto da mobilidade espontânea, no que concerne ao país de destino, passa por analisar aspectos pessoais e acadêmicos, assim como a possível relevância da imagem de destino, resgatando os elementos que compõem a imagem desse lugar. Considerando essa demanda, foi realizado um estudo de caráter exploratório, cujo material empírico coletado por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas foi analisado a partir da orientação das categorias de motivação. Os resultados revelaram que não há um componente padrão que oriente a escolha do destino, mas uma interação entre os diferentes aspectos, incluindo os elementos que compõem a imagem do país.

This paper adds to the literature on the consequences of cultural capital at the age of cultural globalization by analyzing the ways youth engage in globalized cultural consumption in three cities-Paris, São Paulo and Seoul. Drawing on cosmopolitanism as an aesthetic and cultural stance of openness and on global cultural consumption as providing youth with cosmopolitan skills, we compare the uses of aesthetico-cultural cosmopolitanism in three contexts. We offer an original account of different uses of cosmopolitan cultural skills, which, to varying degrees in the three contexts, signal generational belonging, social distinction, educational and professional success and personal eruditeness and fulfillment. Analysis of recent interviews with 80 youth in each city reveals distinct uses of aesthetico-cultural cosmopolitanism: as a vehicle for self-development (either empowerment or Bildung) in Paris; as a means for the cultivation of social capital for personal status in São Paulo; and as human capital serving for labor market entry and attainment in Seoul. Our findings accentuate that even with the prevalence of cultural globalization in global cities, the functions of cosmopolitan skills remain highly dependent on educational, institutional, cultural, and political contexts at the national level, which create different incentives and opportunities or barriers to experiencing otherness and developing new types of cultural capital.
