The concept of a public sphere has traditionally been associated
with urban spaces. Public Spheres After Socialism contests this in
light of shifts of perspective in the East and West after the end
of the Cold War and the disintegration of the Soviet Union.Public
Spheres After Socialism draws together contemporary experiences
from Armenia - an interesting site of cultural and political
cross-currents - Germany, Austria, France and the United Kingdom.
It reconsiders the concept of a public sphere as a figurative, or
mythical, location in which the members of a society shape and
determine its values and ask to what extent this public sphere
exists or is viable today. Among the ideas presented in this
groundbreaking volume are the cultures of public time, everyday
memorials, urban reconstruction, film as a dialogic site, and the
mapping of a post-socialist city in youth culture.Esteemed
academics cover a wide range of issues, including public spaces and
monuments, urban reconstruction, film, new media and communication.
They explore the major shifts in theory and consider how the
dualism of the Cold War has been replaced by the single ideological
position of globalized consumerism.
