Abstract

Transnational citizenship between selection and rejection

Most socio-political approaches consider the individual as the driving force for the formation of societies[vi]. The individual, depending on the socio-political status and position, interacts and joins with others in negotiating and forming cohesive groups. This includes a variety of ways of representations and designations, occasionally complementing and, and in other times, conflicting dialectics within, around and beyond given societies. Some might opt for de-associating from groups thereby avoiding public encounters and connections, others might associate with groups they conclude promoting relevant interests and goals. In modernity, people should, according to classical theorists, supposedly shift from sustaining traditional social relationships to gradually moving towards modern professionalized, diversified, functional interactions and associations with others in the society and beyond[vii]. However, existing transnational empirical evidences suggest temporality and complexity on how people, whether individuals or in groups associate, select and reject in joining and contributing to prevailing socio-political relationships[viii]. Unlike earlier conclusions, socio-political encounters and connections remain dynamic and inconclusive- mainly depending on circumstantial negotiations, habitus and trajectories, occasionally with lesser rigid commitments[ix]
