Last modified: Mo 07.09.2020 15:20
The course is divided into three parts.
The first part will provide a brief overview of the concept of citizenship through time, with particular emphasis on its entanglements with the development of the nation-state. It will discuss the traditional conceptualisations of citizenship associated with the rights and duties of citizens within the nation-state, as well as cosmopolitan ideas of citizenship related to the figure of the global citizen.
The second part will explore the concepts of citizenship and belonging within contemporary social processes, analysing the multifarious relations and conflicts brought about by transnational migratory movements, neoliberal globalisation, bordering practices, and the revival of nationalist tendencies. It will also take into consideration some of the most common critiques that have been moved to the concept and practice of citizenship, namely the postcolonial and feminist critiques, focusing in particular on the power, racial, and gendered boundaries of in- and exclusion that are continuously redrawn across space.
The last part will investigate the intertwining relations between citizenship and civic education: by asking what it means to be a citizen today, this part will analyse the current crisis of liberal democracy, exploring potentially alternative forms of citizenship and political participation at both local and international level (post-national citizenship, digital citizenship, environmentalist and feminist campaigns).OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE
The objectives of the course are:
- To introduce students to historical conceptualisations and current debates on citizenship;
- To provide a framework for a critical understanding of the relationship between citizenship and contemporary social processes;
- To encourage in-depth reflections on the concept and practice of citizenship in social and educational contexts.LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Understand and distinguish between different conceptualisation and approaches to the study of citizenship;
- Demonstrate familiarity with different theoretical and practical perspectives on citizenship;
- Critically assess how citizenship relates to contemporary social processes, generating practices of in- and exclusion;
- Understand the implications of, and interrelations between, the concepts and practices of citizenship and citizenship education;
- Critically discuss specific topics and engage in current debates.
