Abstract

The articles in this special volume were presented in the sub-theme panel on ‘Rethinking Citizenship, Communities and Rights’ at the Eleventh Conference of the Indian Association for Women's Studies on ‘Citizenship, Gender and Sovereignty’ held in Goa from 3 to 6 May 2005. They explore the contests and debates that inform the theory and practice of citizenship in contemporary contexts. While delineating the contours of the debate, the articles identify the historically emergent strands that constitute the debate, the manner in which contending practices of citizenship—hegemonic state practices of rule and countervailing struggles—continually articulate and evolve ‘people's practices of citizenship’, rupturing hegemonies and rearticulating citizenship. In the process, they move beyond legal-formal frameworks to see how citizenship unfolds in specific contexts, and explore the possibilities of continually opening up spaces for the articulation of substantive citizenship embedded in democratic politics.
