Program
DEMOCRACY, CITIZENSHIP, MIGRATIONS.
“We became aware of the existence of a right to have rights […]
only when millions of people emerged who had lost and could not regain these rights because of the new global political situation" (Hannah Arendt, 1951)
The course will discuss in a philosophical perspective the issue of western democracy and the political concept of citizenshi, which plays a crucial role in contemporary debate on migrations and citizenship. We will finally focus on the case of European Union and on Arendt's reflections about stateless people and "the right to have rights"- here understood as the right to "citizenship", quite apart from nationality.
The Program consists of three main parts:
1) the history of democracy and western political thought and the political concept of citizenship (Petrucciani, chapt. I-V and X; Zolo).
2) an introduction to the topic of contemporary migrations, with particular reference to the case of the European Union and the debate on "fortresse Europe" (Possenti, chapt. 1-3);
3) a reading of Hannah Arendt's "The declin of the nation-state and the end of the rights of men" (1951): the "right to have rights" as a right to political citizenship (Arendt; Possenti, chapt. 4 and Appendix).
