Abstract: Sally Potter’s film Yes (UK/US, 2004) stages the political possibilities of cosmopolitanism through the aesthetics of a heterosexual love story whose failures reveal the limit points of such a vision. Read psychoanalytically, cosmopolitan aspirations share with love an idealizing drive. In response to Potter’s coupling of cosmopolitanism and love, this article puts their idealizations in critical dialogue, mapping their respective productions of desirable and undesirable subjects.
