Today, many anti-racist, anti-capitalist, migrant, ecological, feminist, and queer struggles revolve around ‘human rights’. At the same time, and despite intersectional campaigns, they risk staying fragmented and disjointed, locked in a national citizenship regime. Can an imaginary of planetary citizenship, as a transversal movement, coalesce these struggles into an effective force against the right? Can making citizenship rights claims transform progressive movements into planetary movements? The panel will examine these political questions raised by Engin Isin’s book, Citizenship (2024). After the book presentation of Engin Isin, Kristine Krause, Stefania Milan and Darshan Vigneswaran will join in a paneldiscussion. Moderator: Diana Zacca Thomaz.
SPUI25 is the academic-cultural podium of Amsterdam. Since 2007, we have been giving scientists, authors, artists and other thinkers the opportunity to shine a light on issues that occupy, inspire or concern them. In cooperation with a large number of academic and cultural partners, we organize between 250 and 300 freely accessible programs per year. These are enriching, often interdisciplinary programs that move between science and culture, fact and fiction.
