Reassessing Demarcations of Citizenship: Agency and Resistance

Abstract

This panel engages with citizenship as agency. Acts of citizenship by those whose citizenship status is unclear, surpass the boundaries delimited by conventional conceptualizations of citizenship rooted in nation, status, inheritance etc. The papers in this panel challenge the conventional demarcations of inclusion and exclusion and delve into cases of resistance and claims to rights, despite citizenship status. The panel engages with the dynamics that shape the relationship between such individuals/groups and the state. What are the motivations behind both citizenship claims and state decisions regarding the granting of citizenship? What are the processes and mechanisms through which citizens, despite status, make these claims and resist conventional state-citizen interactions?
