This kind of monitoring and capacity for surveillance connects with attempts by civic authorities to regulate, restrict, rebrand, and reframe urban public spaces and the communities located there. A direct consequence of the increasingly security driven, policed, privatised, and surveilled nature of public space is the exclusion or “unfavourable inclusion” of those considered flawed and unwelcome in the “spectacular” consumption spaces of many major urban centres. This paper considers alternative scenarios, suggesting that cities, places, and spaces and those who seek to use them, can be resilient in working to maintain and extend democratic freedoms and processes, calling sensor and surveillance systems to account. This will better inform the implementation of public policy around the design, build, and governance of public space. Moreover, understandings of urban citizenship, social rights, and participation in the sensor saturated, “Big Data” urban environment are interrogated through consideration of forms of citizenship extending the work of Marshall and Bottomore (1950) by looking at Insurgent and also Ecological citizenships.","PeriodicalId":315417,"journal":{"name":"The Global Studies Journal","volume":"44 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114118283","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As different approaches to understand European identity evolve, including the supranational thought of building a collective European identity, there are also strong nationalistic forces striving to maintain their respective national identities. However, with time, it appears that the national identities are being threatened, national borders are being eroded, and the changing dynamics of nation states are leading to the emergence of a newer kind of European identity, which is characterized by a state of „a-identity‟. This paper emphasizes the fluid state of European identity, which changes in accordance with context. The paper seeks to discuss the unstable nature of collective identity of an individual in Europe through Jacques Derrida‟s views on deconstruction. It aims at the construction of a perceptive paper based on the notion that the transient character of the contemporary European identity leads toa state of non-identity. The terms „differance‟ and „traces‟, propounded by Jacques Derrida are used to grasp the emergence of multiple identities, in the contemporary Europe. The paper explores the possibility of this process subsequently leading to a-identity: a state of absence of the essential identity itself as an identity, which is necessarily a state of fluidity of identity.","PeriodicalId":315417,"journal":{"name":"The Global Studies Journal","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114645659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A consequence of this shift is often rural crisis as the inhabitants of these areas frequently find themselves without the institutions to cope with the rapidity and enormity of global changes. A possible feature of globalization is better interconnectedness among individuals across the globe that potentially supplies innovative ideas to local areas. Local informal communications or the \"bush telegraph\" may support novel input by individuals into community development. This study supplies a reflection on contemporary global networks through semi-structured interviews from inhabitants of rural communities in South Australia. The contributors reside in communities that are economically reliant on producing goods that are competitive in the world market. However, the experiences reported here express more superficial social networks than have been documented previously by research. This unanticipated outcome suggests that rural inhabitants remain unacquainted with the benefits of linkages in a globalized world, effectively assigning them to an environment that receives significant challenges and negligible assistance from globalization processes. This exploration of contemporary social arrangements facilitates initial comments to assist the generation of networks that are more beneficial.","PeriodicalId":315417,"journal":{"name":"The Global Studies Journal","volume":"45 189","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113961143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
