Abstract
Liberal and Marxist theories of civil society contain a conceptual paradox of ‘civil society without citizenship’. This article shows how the paradox about civil society comes about through and under-theorization of the multivariant character of citizenship and rights, which in turn reflects a rather impoverished understanding of culture, discourse, and symbolization.
