Struggling with the Concept of a Public Sphere

  • Chapter
Rethinking the Public Sphere Through Transnationalizing Processes

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in European Political Sociology ((PSEPS))

Abstract

In this chapter, three issues in recent public sphere research will be addressed: first, the theoretical issue of the social and cultural embeddedness of the public sphere; second, the methodological issues that arise from the changing conceptions of the social and cultural embeddedness of public spheres; and third, linked to the two former ones, the issue of clarifying the link between the reality of public spheres and their normative presuppositions.
