In particular, scholars have <br>pointed out that citizenship, while usually associated with rights and duties, <br>is very much connected to civic and social participation. However, this type of <br>participation is as much connected to actual citizenship (having an ID or <br>passport, for example, being able to demonstrate legal belonging or residency – <br>as in the case of immigrants) as it is to class and race. Images of who is a <br>citizen or not may be completely separate from the ability to produce a passport <br>or an ID – and participation and social inclusion similarly pass through class <br>and racial lines. Cultural and social capital can also influence the ability of <br>the person to participate to “citizenship”: – for example, in Italy US citizens <br>are not considered “extracomunitari” (a word that is also racialized, meaning <br>‘coming from outside the European Union,’ but applied only to certain categories <br>of immigrants). New models of citizenship are thus emerging that may reproduce <br>or distinguish themselves from a classic model of citizenship as simple <br>belonging to a nation state - either by jus solis or jus sanguinis - and as <br>connected to particular rights that may be additional or different from human <br>rights accorded to both citizens and non-citizens alike. <br><br>In this panel, we start from a consideration of everyday and institutional <br>discursive practices as a fundamental site for the study of citizenship. Using a <br>linguistic anthropological and pragmatic perspective, we argue that a careful <br>attention to these discursive practices can help better understand nationhood in <br>terms of belonging, the racialization of the Self, the gendering of citizenship, <br>and so forth. <br>We welcome contributions exploring everyday and institutional discursive <br>practices about citizenship produced by different social actors: ordinary <br>people, political representatives, immigrants, immigration officers, etc. The <br>papers may consider, for example:<br>- How the citizen is imagined in micro-narratives, as well as in longer <br>narratives that may be produced in everyday encounters, in focus groups, or in <br>interview settings. How is citizenship talked about? How is it imagined in <br>everyday encounters?<br>- The way citizenship is presented in everyday discursive practices <br>produced in educational settings, such as schools, ESL programs, citizenship <br>classes, and so forth. In the educational institutions ideas about citizenship <br>may be reflected in the creation of language curricula, for example for the <br>teaching of a second language.<br>- The discursive practices that connect citizenship to the use of <br>particular languages or varieties, either produced at the everyday level or <br>proposed by the mass media or political parties (one only has to think of the <br>recent laws passed in Arizona regarding teaching with a “foreign” accent).<br>- The narratives that reflect political ideologies about citizenship, <br>produced by mass-media or political parties, and their connection to linguistic <br>ideologies.<br>- The macro-level discursive practices produced by institutions, including <br>legal views of citizenship and belonging.<br>- Discursive practices that connect citizenship to identity and senses of <br>belonging and place.<br>In all these contexts, everyday discursive practices are an important site in <br>which citizenship is proposed in conversations and in other forms of language <br>use. The papers proposed can look at both spoken and written language, and <br>should have a focus on language use. Contributions that examine the intersection <br>of citizenship, race and gender, or racial, class and gender identities are <br>particularly welcome.<br> Best,<br><br><br>Valentina Pagliai<br><br>Department of Anthropology<br>American University<br>Washington, DC 20016<br><br> Phone# (908) 668-4840 (h)<br><br><br><br>There Is No Place Like Everywhere<br><br><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
