Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This seminar will provide a broad introduction into citizenship studies, combining theoretical perspectives and empirical research questions. The first block of the seminar examines the intellectual history of the concept in ancient Athens and Rome and traces its changing meanings in early modernity through the lens of contemporary republican and liberal theories of citizenship. The second block looks at the late 20th century revival of citizenship theory. We discuss three influential strands: T.H. Marshalls historical account of the emergence of social citizenship, Michael Walzer’s communitarian conception of citizenship as membership, and Will Kymlicka’s liberal theory of multicultural citizenship, and the feminist critique of liberal citizenship by Iris Marion Young. The final block of the seminar engages discusses issues related to citizenship and migration in Austria in comparative perspective.
