In my talk, I would like to put European citizenship under scrutiny through the category of the people who have an ambiguous positioning within the EU space. The aim is to explore the tensions and anomalies of European citizenship and EU social space through the lens of people who are in fact European citizens, but still located as "in but not of the EU space", i.e. through the lens of a group from within. On the basis of events surrounding the expulsion of Roma from new member states in Berlin in 2009, I will explore how the borders of European citizenship are policed and governed; how the flattening of the inner EU political space is achieved through a set of semantic tactics, as well as extra-legal means and how the desire of EU citizen Roma to become asylum seekers ironically became an act of European citizenship. The dynamics around the way the Roma is excluded and simultaneously become claimants of rights raise questions about the way “legalized illegalities” (Comaroff and Comaroff 2006) and the judicialization of politics function within the European political space by the help of a wide array of European institutions. Finally, I would like to draw attention to the mutual constitution of sites and acts of citizenship, which in turn open up questions about the sites of contentious politics and inequalities within EU social and political space.
