Cultural citizenship is a recently developed concept in discussions
on multicultural society, the media society, consumerism, and
political theory. It addresses the various ways in which
citizenship is becoming mixed up with culture, either through
globalisation processes (involving new cultural identities,
immigrations, culture industries) or by increasingly life-style
oriented types of action. In the face of these challenges, the good
old notion of citizenship seems in need of some assistance. This
book takes a fresh look at cultural citizenship by exploring it
from political-philosophical angles. It seeks to develop explicitly
normative perspectives on the present debates around culture. What
do the novel national and global constellations mean with respect
to inclusion and exclusion, participation and marginalisation,
political rights and 'mere' cultural practices? Moreover, this
volume's authors aim to develop notions of cultural citizenship
beyond the liberal political paradigm that associates it with
'cultural rights', 'cultural capital' or the 'consumer-citizen'.
They engage the concept to re-think politics in both its meanings
of citizenship practices and governance practices vis-a-vis
citizens. The authors address a range of pertinent issues,
exploring historical as well as present-day understandings, and
theoretical as well as policy applications of the notion of
cultural citizenship. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Citizenship Studies.
