在跨国流动和全球行动者的背景下思考公民身份，使我们有机会考虑当代政治和人类代理的新可能性。通过加入采用这些方法的跨学科讨论，在本期关于“跨国生活公民”的特刊中，我们开始挑战公民身份的固定观念，并呼吁其重新规范化和再政治化。具体而言，我们强调非国家为基础的材料和可定位的实践，特定演员的记忆和想象的重要性。重要的是，我们没有将与公民身份有关的政治代理形式限制在个人或与政治成员身份有关的立场、做法和行为上。相反，我们确定参与者如何在不同的社会空间背景下共同构建和实践公民身份。此外，个别文章的作者提出了新的方法来理解人们，作为政治主体，如何在他们的社区和社会中定位不同，以及他们如何在他们的跨国世界中追求新的政治立场和行动。以“地理”为调查基础，这个问题作为一个整体，试图为关系和有争议的公民身份的跨学科辩论提供空间理论贡献。
Thinking about citizenship in the context of transnational flows and global actors gives us opportunities to consider new possibilities for politics and human agency in the contemporary era. By joining the interdisciplinary discussions that adopt these approaches, in this special issue on ‘transnational lived citizenship’ we set out to challenge fixed notions of citizenship and to call for its respatialization and repoliticization. Specifically, we stress the importance of the non-state based material and locatable situated practices, memories and imaginings of particular actors. Importantly, we do not limit the forms of political agency associated with citizenship to individuals, or to the positions, practices and acts related to polity memberships. Rather, we identify how the actors collectively construct and act out citizenship in various socio-spatial contexts. Moreover, the authors of the individual articles propose new ways of understanding how people, as political subjects, are positioned differently in their communities and societies and how they pursue new political stances and actions in their transnationalizing worlds. Centring ‘the geographical’ as the basis of enquiry, the issue as a whole seeks to provide spatial–theoretical contributions to the interdisciplinary debates on relational and contested citizenship.
