SSC Reading Group

Friday, October 29th, 2010
11:30h - 13:00h
Mac-Corry Hall, Room D-411

Please join us for the first SSC Reading Group meeting, which will take place on Friday, October 29th, in the Sociology Lounge (D411).

The readings we will be discussing at this meeting are:

Isin, E.F. (2009). "Citizenship in flux: The figure of the activist citizen", Subjectivity 29, 367–388.

Ranciere, J. (2004). "Who is the subject of the rights of man?", The South Atlantic Quarterly 103(2/3): 297–310.

We will discuss these texts with reference to the themes of “Citizenship, Non-citizenship, and Resistance”. These articles provide theoretical insights into the notion of citizenship, and outline the ways to contest and challenge it.

Everyone welcome!
