Abstract

Speaker Engin Isin, Professor emeritus, Queen Mary University of London This seminar outlines the development of planetary movements in the 21st century and the possibilities of planetary citizenship. By articulating the planetary as an imaginary rather than a scale (e.g., world, international, global, transnational) or a period (e.g., age, era), I consider how this imaginary calls people to act and think in certain ways that create the condition of possibility of planetary citizenship. The planetary citizens are activists, cosmopolitical, agonistic, solidaristic, and disobedient. The planetary citizens are mobile, multiple, and transversal. They act against injustice and for justice by performing abolishment, disobedience, refusal, and resistance. I will discuss how these planetary ways of thinking and acting radically challenges theorising political agency.
