Cittadinanza

Abstract

The topic of citizenship in recent debate is at the centre of many reflections. The stories of citizenship that emerge are manifold for the problems faced, the research methods applied, and the disciplines involved. The essay aims to depict this complexity by the cross-reading of four recent works on citizenship that differ in approach, purposes, spatial and temporal area and nationality of author. The limits and the possibilities of a concept that speaks of inclusion and exclusion, of identity and difference, of status privileges and of new rights, emerge in a journey that reaches from pre-modernity to post-modernity.
