Quando discursos e oportunidades políticas se encontram: Para repensar a sociologia política da cidadania moderna

Abstract

This article carries out a critical assessment of contemporary debates around T.H. Marshall's classical piece on citizenship. I start out by shedding light on a variegated set of configurations of civil, political and social rights, commonly viewed as deviations from modernity's normative marks. I move on to highlight some of the implications of the current debate on the idea of "multiple modernities" to the political sociology of citizenship.
