Abstract
Abstract: This essay explores how the figure of the good citizen might be reimagined in terms of a citizen-subjectivity that is up to the demands of our times (neoliberalism, climate apocalypse, and rising authoritarianism). Theorizing “citizen-subjectivity” as a way-of-seeing-and-being in power/knowledge relations, we engage recent work by Donna Haraway and William Connolly to explore potential figures of radical citizen-subjectivity, focusing on the figure of “the scout.” In conversation with Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Grrrrl Scouts and honey bee scouts, we argue for the need to tell tales of the body politic differently, in form, content, and cast of characters.
