The paper sets out to develop further geographies of citizenship as based on the topological constitution of lived realities. Instead of identifying new territorial frameworks or scalar dimensions of/for citizenship, topologies of citizenship are attained by tracing the social ties that people adopt, create, maintain, transform, challenge, and refuse in their everyday activities. The politics emerging in topological worlds concern the matters that people, as contextual (inter)subject, care for and find important; what makes them attentive towards what happens in their worlds, based on which attitudes concerning certain matters may develop, which may invite people to act for or against them. Drawing from this theoretical framework, the paper outlines a methodological, geosocial approach to studying the relational formation of citizensubjects, with geo-socialisation as a key concept describing these processes. The concept refers to the social dynamisms by which political subjectivities are contextually established, maintained, struggled, and reformulated in the mundane realities where people lead their lives and learn to be citizens. The paper draws from a research project with 262 youth in Southern Finland and Northern England. By presenting a piece of analysis based mainly on the English sub-study, and with focus on experienced inequalities, it demonstrates how the processes of citizen-subject formation can be traced from narrative research materials by geosocial means.

“…These were, however, the exceptions. The overall results are the opposite of what the critics of multiculturalism (Barry 2001;Baumann 1996Baumann , 1999Benhabib 2002;Cornell & Murphy 2002;Okin 1999) lead us to expect: left-wing associations managed to move right into the center of power, while conservative associations were relegated to the background or excluded altogether.…”

SOLIDARITY AND IDENTITYIn the past decades several large-scale social, cultural and economic developments have occurred. Processes of economic restructuring (de-industrialization) have brought into existence new categories of unemployed people; the process of individualization is manifested in increased individual independence, a growing sense of personal rights, and -possibly -in a growing opposition between self-interest and civil virtues; the increased world-wide mobility of people, commodities, services, money and information -globalization -has far-reaching consequences for the way individual citizens are living and experiencing their lives. Contemporary society is characterized by cultural and ethnic diversity. People's social and cultural identities have become more varied. What are the consequences of these developments for the way people form social bonds and experience mutual solidarity in our society? Is there any empirical support for the widespread idea that social solidarity is declining? Which social domains -care, volunteer work, living together in old city quarters, relations between family members, neighbors, friends, etcetera -are the most vulnerable for a potential decay of solidarity? What is the role of familism and within-group solidarity among immigrant communities? Which new challenges are brought about by the multicultural society in terms of new forms of cultural expression, new (group) identities, new alliances, new institutions, new forms of formal and informal support? These and similar questions are the theme of the series Solidarity and Identity.editors of the series

“…This interdisciplinary discussion, oftentimes referred to as the ‘ethics and politics of recognition debate’, has presented an important turn in the theories of recognition. To move beyond identity categories, Fraser (2000), Cornell and Murphy (2002), Heyes (2003), Markell (2007), Deranty and Renault (2007), Warnke (2007), McNay (2008), Noble (2009), Connell (2012) and Snyder (2012), among others, have called for more intersectional and less categorical approaches. Instead of downgrading the importance of general social markers that position people differently in their communities and condition their agencies, they have sought to broaden the scope of recognition.…”

Abstract:This article considers the role of intergenerational recognition in processes of subject formation and political development. It leans on a broad conception of politics, following a phenomenologically oriented approach and drawing from theories of contextual recognition. Intergenerational recognition is introduced as a key dynamism and practice in intersubjective socialisation, unfolding in everyday environments among 'significant others'. In these encounters, people take shape and are shaped as political subjects.Empirically, the paper is based on research with 129 eleven-to fifteen-year-old girls and boys, including an analysis of their place-based biographies. By introducing different forms of intergenerational (mis)recognition, it shows how the formation of political subjects takes place in the most mundane environments where children and young people lead their lives. In conclusion, the paper suggests that 'political becoming' deserves increasing attention in critical research and intergenerational recognition ought to be better identified as a social practice. Whether intentional or intuitive, the ways in which adults regard children and young people has both harmful and beneficial effects on the formation of their political subjectivities.
