How should we address this predicament? This paper proposes an approach grounded in acknowledging different modes of democratic citizenship and in recognizing that addressing eco-social crises requires coordination among them. We distinguish five modes of democratic practice against the backdrop of a distinction between two general pictures of citizenship and illustrate how different modes of democratic citizenship (e.g. participatory citizens and Gaia citizens) may ‘join hands’ to address shared challenges. This approach, we propose, brings to light a slow but sure means of democratic change and transformation.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"436 - 446"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48512019","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meanwhile, so-called liberal political philosophers and theorists who claim commitments to rights and justice make arguments that invigorate nationalist subjectivities at the expense of the rule of law. This essay explains how even those who are critical of nationalist, authoritarian regimes nonetheless use a vocabulary that reinvigorates Jacques Derrida’s ‘sovereign beast’. Insights from Miguel de Cervantes and Franz Kafka are used to amplify Engin Isin’s timely if not urgent arguments on behalf of theorizing citizenship as enactments that are creative, innovative, and autonomous, and not as a status derived from membership. Plato’s views on justice and the ‘healthy politeia’, as well as examples of creativity within existing governments are elucidated to further emphasize the benefits of theorizing new scripts for citizens over proposing new theories for governments.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"675 - 688"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45668024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, people employed in certain sectors and designated as ‘essential workers’ were allowed to bypass these mobility restrictions. In this article, I take essential workers’ seemingly paradoxical assemblage of rights and value as a fruitful entry point to scrutinize both the tensions present in citizenship arrangements governing mobility and people and the contradictions of today’s labor and migration politics. Expanding on these contradictions, I argue that what appear to be ambiguities of citizenship – ambiguities which became more visible during the COVID pandemic – can actually be seen as contradictions inherent to citizenship itself. These ambiguities and contradictions reveal the coloniality in today’s nation states and their citizenship regimes. In short, we can relate them to colonial forms of power producing governable subjects and regulating mobility closely connected to processes of accumulation.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"401 - 410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48253943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I argue that such an activist understanding has the potential to advance the well-being of populations that lack legal status. It can also foster rights-based claims for inclusion and create allegiances with different societal actors, locally, nationally, as well as globally. At the same time, such a partly subversive definition of citizenship as practice risks being unduly romanticised in its emancipatory potential. I conclude that activist citizenship as a category of analysis and practice is at its most emancipatory when focusing on new subjectivities that emerge in mobile transnational lives, often literally in the geographical space of the city.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"584 - 591"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43190208","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the last twenty years, scholars have drawn on this seminal work to show how those positioned at the margins of citizenship have been central to its transformation. Key to Isin’s approach is the notion of the city as a difference machine – a paradigmatic formulation that captures the social and spatial dimensions of citizenship struggles. Reflecting on this notion twenty years on, I ask how it intersects with an emergent planetary imaginary in which a politics of time, as much as space, is increasingly explicit. I make a case for attention to the clock, alongside and as part of the city, where the clock is understood as a non-exhaustive symbol of the temporalities in and through which subjects become political. I pursue this approach in relation to a specific example: a 2020 case before the High Court of Australia concerning the power of the Australian government to deport Aboriginal persons who were not Australian citizens. The case speaks to complex interconnections between Indigenous politics, planetary politics, and citizenship, in and through which the city and the clock are being reconfigured.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"565 - 576"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48207030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the theorisation of citizenship through acts has emerged predominantly from democratic context, the theory holds that acts of citizenship can happen in various cultural and political contexts, and should be studied in multiple and overlapping sites and scales, rather than solely those linked to nation-states. Yet, what happens when acts of citizenship take place in contexts, where rights are severely curtailed, and the very notion of activist citizenship is rejected as unlawful? And how are acts of citizenship performed differently when they respond to particular cultural sensibilities? This essay aims to extend the repertoire of acts of citizenship, by emphasising why and how acts of citizenship need to be treated differently in different cultural contexts and under varying political regimes.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"505 - 511"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44277700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, I focus on the literature which grew out of Yasemin Soysal’s seminal work Limits of Citizenship. Soysal argued for a post-national model of membership based on observations that rights traditionally associated with citizenship were becoming increasingly separated from the nation. I explore how, while some have taken up the study of post-national citizenship as a cosmopolitan research agenda, many others have subjected this idea to sustained critique on the basis that the empirical observations on which it rests have not materialised. Indeed, the continued hegemony of the national citizenship model suggests that this is not soon to change. However, I look to the literature on acts of citizenship, itself a major thread of research over the past quarter of a century, to argue that there is scope to reclaim post-nationalism as a fruitful lens for the study of citizenship-as-practice.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"695 - 701"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47596968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Citizenship as restriction played a major part in enacting government-imposed restrictions to mobility and public interactions; and citizenship as social protection was essential criteria for the allocation of social benefits. At the same time, citizenship also inspired radical opposition to governments’ impositions and experts’ opinion; and, citizenship as care reflected the enactment of collective identity, forged on principles of reciprocity and mutual aid. This article contends the concurrent activation of disparate ‘faces’ of citizenship during the pandemic provides an opportunity to consider both the distinctive character of each ‘face’ as well as the points of dynamic overlap and co-constitution amongst them. Building on studies of complex systems, the article argues that how we see citizenship influences the types of questions and analysis we set to explore. Using the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, the article lays out an initial approach to seeing citizenship from the vantage point of complex integrative thinking. Upholding both the singularity and multiplicity of the different ‘faces’, the article engages in preliminary examination of both their distinctiveness as well as points of overlap, co-constitution, and synergy.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"512 - 524"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41922592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the first section, I work these arguments through in relation to my research with the friends of family of deported migrants, examining how witnessing deportation both reaffirms and produces hierarchies of (non)citizenship. These examples offer an invitation to trace and theorise the dynamic relationship between bordering and race-making. I then go on to examine how citizenship is centrally imbricated in race-making at the global scale. There, I historicise citizenship as a global regime for the international management of populations, suggesting that citizenship does similar kinds of work to race under empire. Taken together, these two points raise questions about whether we can and should imbue citizenship with radical and emancipatory potential. Is the articulation and celebration of non-national citizenships a useful framing? I remain cautious, and this paper is intended to underline that caution by approaching the question from one particular vantage point – one in which the theorisation of and struggle against racism is made central.","PeriodicalId":47860,"journal":{"name":"Citizenship Studies","volume":"26 1","pages":"426 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46678167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
