dcterms.abstractToday's unprecedented levels of human migration present urgent challenges to traditional conceptualizations of national identity, nation-state sovereignty, and democratic citizenship. The instrumental valorization or vilification of foreignness for nationalistic ends has long-determined who is to be included within or excluded from " the people" of the democratic state. Against this instrumentalization, I argue that foreignness is an originary and constitutive element of democratic political identity which severs the links among nationality, citizenship, and democratic rights. Accordingly, a re-conceptualization of democratic rights is required that reflects the structural necessity of foreignness to democratic political identity.
