Abstract
Because the exercise of citizenship is one of the foundations of democracy and modernity, this essay discusses what constitutes citizenship, and its current status, in light of a series of cultural and aesthetic changes in its very foundations. Some of such changes are the shape of the city and experience of the city. As many of these changes enter and affect the life world, our everyday life, our sensibility, the way we imagine and relate to the world and to others, they result in forms of subjectivity and agency that while may open up certain life possibilities and enable certain social and cultural phenomena do not, by any means, amount to citizenship —nor, I would argue, to personhood.
