Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The article presents an exploration into the philosophy of citizenship within the 21st century post-national sphere, particularly in relation to Hannah Arendt's depictions of Jewish refugees and their assimilation. Questions are raised challenging a binary interpretation of citizenship through access to privileges and instead suggests a model focused on social acceptance and political self-disclosure. The conception of false presentation for the sake of political representation is discussed, citing social-political conditions in Palestinian-Jewish relations in Israel as of 2006.
