Citizen City brings together some of the best contemporary works on the
interplay between subjectivity and society. The product of an ongoing
international collaboration among theoretical psychologists — now spanning more
than two decades — Citizen City tackles the difficult theoretical questions
often avoided by practitioners and researchers. These questions are concerned
not only with the fundamental nature of psychological objects such as self,
society, culture, and race, but also — and perhaps more importantly — with how
these objects are constructed by the scientific methods deployed to ‘discover’
them. Rather than the usual thematic organisation of chapters, Citizen City is
structured as a play in five acts. Each act presents a key episode in the
unfolding story of how we find ourselves up against, but also intimately
entangled with, the disciplinary, moral, and technological apparatus of the 21st
Century. The chapters included in this volume were all developed from papers presented
at the 11th biennial conference of the International Society for Theoretical
Psychology, held in Cape Town, South Africa, in June 2005.
