Dissertation
Citizenship Change: the European Anomaly
My project analyzes how elements of a common formula of citizenship can be found in different instances of federalization/political integration. The common formula returns, in particular, in the development of European citizenship. The discourse of citizenship in Europe however cannot comprehend all the phenomena of status and membership that are taking place in the E.U., and a long experienced relation between borders and citizenship is going lost there. My research seeks keys to explain this anomaly, while attempting to redefine the relevance of citizenship. I look in particular at the interaction between discourse of movement and discourse of citizenship, and at the relevance of notions of societal sameness when the discourse of citizenship is pushed beyond nationality.
