By tracing the origins\nof citizenship in f our Western countries (Britain\, France\, Germany\,\nand the United States ) from c.1700 to the present\, he demonstrates\nthe contingency and change ability of the concept. The emergence of\nthese modern nation states broug ht a deceptively simple opposition\nof “citizen” versus “alien\,” in contr ast to the complex\nrelationships between individuals and communities in a ncien régime\nsocieties\, Fahrmeir argues. He charts the demise of traditi onal\nways of distinguishing insiders from outsiders\; discusses the\nrela tion of political participation\, economic privileges\, and\nsocial rights to legal citizenship\; and considers whether state\ncitizenship remains a relevant concept in the circumstances of\ntoday.\n DTSTART:20081002T180000Z DTEND:20081002T180000Z LOCATION:Redpath Museum\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 0C4\, 859 rue Sherbrooke Ouest SUMMARY:“Citizenship: the Rise and Fall of a Concept” URL:/channels/event/%E2%80%9Ccitizenship-rise-and-fall -concept%E2%80%9D-102068 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
