nationality: Nationality affords the state jurisdiction over the person, and affords the person the protection of the state. Conversely if one does not have the ‘appropriate’ nationality in certain states one does not necessarily have protection. We want to consider nationality not in order to accept the limits of the term but rather to engage with the fact that we live in a real concrete legal political situation in which we are governed subjects. What the notion of the nation state and nationality includes, assumes, evokes and negates are all points of interest for us in this project.
