“…A specific poststructuralist and discursive approach that draws together some resources from the work of Michel Foucault (1972Foucault ( , 1984Foucault ( and 2007, Dreyfus and Rabinow (1982) and Marshall (1999) we propose as potentially helpful. Although we emphasize this as 'fragmentary, incomplete and the local, indeterminate and partial' (Brosio 2005), this does not suggest that the 'local' implies that it is peripheral or without potential for effect. Rather, we consider that the difficulties identified are considerable in their maintenance of a particular regime of power.…”

“…Although this is necessary and productive in our times -we do not suggest a relinquishing of this -by narrowing the focus of citizenship understandings to those emerging through policy, educational and other formal institutions and research may be more dangerous than not. Thus, where those such as Brosio (2005) suggest that poststructuralist resources are inadequate to the task of overthrowing such relations of power, we are not convinced by such arguments -this in any case is not our aim.…”

We argue two major difficulties in current discourses of citizenship education. The first is a relative masking of student discourses of citizenship, by positioning students as lacking citizenship and as outside the community that acts. The second is in failing to understand the discursive and material support for citizenship activity. We thus argue that it is not a lack of citizenship that education research might address, but identification and exploration of the different forms of citizenship that people already engage in. We offer a fragmentary, poststructuralist theorization oriented to explore the 'contemporary limits of the necessary', drawing on specific resources from the work of Michel Foucault and others for the constitution of local, partial accounts of citizenship discourses and activities, and exploration of their possibilities and constraints. We argue this as a significant tactic of theorization in support of an opening of discourses of citizenship and in avoiding the discursive difficulties that we have identified. Our theorization then is significant in its potential to unsettle discourses that confine contemporary thought regarding citizenship education, and support exploration of what might be excessive to that confinement.
