This book introduces the concept of 'act of citizenship' and in
doing so, re-orients the study of what it means to be a citizen.
Isin and Nielsen show that an 'act of citizenship' is the event
through which subjects constitute themselves as citizens. They
claim that such an act involves both responsibility and
answerability, but is ultimately irreducible to either. This study
of citizenship is truly interdisciplinary, drawing not only on new
developments in politics, sociology, geography and anthropology,
but also on psychoanalysis, philosophy and history. Ranging from
Antigone and Socrates in the ancient world to checkpoints,
euthanasia and flash mobs in the modern one, the 'acts' and
chapters here build up a dynamic and wide-ranging picture. Acts of
Citizenship provides important new insights for all those concerned
with the relationship between individuals, groups and polities.
