This essay questions the possibility (and impossibility) of the equation: citizenship = nationality. Can the right to citizenship be thought as still based on traditional criteria of belonging to the nation-state? From the reflections of Hannah Arendt on the "Decline of the Nation-state" and the "End of the Rights of Man" (The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951), to the radical critique of the "immigration policies" implemented in recent years in Europe and Italy (main theoretical reference to Étienne Balibar), a détour to ancient Greece reflects on Plato's "bad divisions"(inside/outside, inclusion/exclusion, citizen/foreigner) that still inform our way to set up and solve problems.

Abstract
This essay questions the possibility (and impossibility) of the equation: citizenship = nationality. Can the right to citizenship be thought as still based on traditional criteria of belonging to the nation-state? From the reflections of Hannah Arendt on the "Decline of the Nation-state" and the "End of the Rights of Man" (The Origins of Totalitarianism, 1951), to the radical critique of the "immigration policies" implemented in recent years in Europe and Italy (main theoretical reference to Étienne Balibar), a détour to ancient Greece reflects on Plato's "bad divisions"(inside/outside, inclusion/exclusion, citizen/foreigner) that still inform our way to set up and solve problems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
