Global citizenship and digital citizenship are two concepts that reflect the huge role globalization and the Internet have played in the contemporary societies. My study is located at the intersection of these two concepts. It contributes to the ongoing theoretical and moral deliberations on citizenship by arguing and providing empirical evidence in support of emergence of a global civic subculture that I call transcultural citizenship. The study, a multi-sited and translocal ethnography, focuses on women who are civically active, digitally fluent, and have a global orientation, and examines how such women's participation on global civic websites influence their experience of citizenship. Through indepth interviews of 23 women from 15 different countries spread across different continents, supplemented by an online survey and textual analysis of their online civic participation, the study examines the Internet's role in negotiation of local, national, and global citizenships. The findings show that my participants take multiple and different pathways to online civic engagement but they all experience citizenship in relational and affective ways as a connection to fellow citizens rather than merely to states or governments. These women share civic values and practices that are at variance with the dominant nation-state based concept of citizenship and thus form a global civic subculture. I argue that transcultural citizenship better explains this subculture than the more familiar term global citizenship because transcultural citizenship is performed in relation with defined others where interpersonal relations and horizontal communication across cultures are more important than legal-political institutional governance. Transcultural citizens are embedded in local cultures but these local cultures are also transcultural because of the constant and complex flows of people, images, information, and goods. Internet plays a significant role in shaping and sustaining transcultural citizenship through affordances like peer-to-peer networks, global connections, multi-modal expression, and flexible communication. The online civic websites and social media provide opportunities for developing global civic identities and spaces for transforming individual stories of oppression and resistance into public issues. My study raises hope for a realistic and cautious optimism about the Internet's role in the experience of citizenship that reflects the changing times.
