= Performative Citizenship = '''Performative citizenship''' is a theoretic lens and framework for analyzing political and ethical acts. <> ---- == Description == A ''legal'' definition of ''citizenship'' ascribes specific rights and liberties to a fixed population, usually with some restriction founded similarly in legalism. Performative citizenship, in contrast, describes citizenship as the ''active claiming'' of rights and duties by a population. These claims are pressed in performative acts (e.g., art, protest, etc.). ---- == History == The theory is largely pioneered by Isin; see [[TheorizingActsOfCitizenship|Theorizing Acts of Citizenship]] and [[PerformativeCitizenship|Performative Citizenship]]. ---- CategoryRicottone
