What is the relationship between being political and citizenship?
What might it mean to be marginalised through both the practices
and knowledge of citizenship? What might citizenship look like from
a position of social, political and cultural exclusion? This book
responds to these questions by treating marginalisation as a
political process and position. It explores how different lives,
experiences and forms of political action might be engendered when
subjects are excluded, made vulnerable and invisible from
contemporary forms of citizenship. It aims to contribute to the
growing body of literature on the politics of resistance by
investigating how complex forms of marginality are not only
produced by dominant forms of citizenship but also actively
challenge them. Modernist approaches to politics tend to see the
citizen as the ideal type of political agent and citizenship as the
zenith of struggles over rights, representation and belonging. This
edited volume challenges this approach to political subjectivity by
showing how political acts work for but also against/beyond
citizenship claims, towards different orientations and as 'acts' of
(non)citizen. By bringing together diverse theoretical and
empirical contributions, and exploring the emergent politics of
marginalised subjects, this collection challenges how we think
about citizenship and opens up space for alternative imaginaries of
political action and belonging. This book was originally published
as a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
