Abstract

In this article I would like to show that citizenship, from its inception, is under the strain of the normative expectations associated to both the concept of citizen and city (commonwealth) and its everyday reality and thus, in a sense, citizenship can be seen mainly as an ideal or a myth. In modern states the content of citizenship is even more incoherent and is almost an oxymoron. On the one hand, citizenship is basically a melancholic or nostalgic ideal; On the other hand, the link between the state and individuals adopt the form of a contract under the logic of private interest. Finally, under globalization, the territorial boundaries that define citizenship become even more fuzzy and the concept of citizenship turns to be, even more abstract. The article poses the following question: is citizenship, under present conditions, a still useful concept?
