During the 1960s the German philosopher Jurgen Habermas introduced
the notion of a "bourgeois public sphere" in order to describe the
symbolic arena of political life and conversation that originated
with the cultural institutions of the early eighteenth-century;
since then the "public sphere" itself has become perhaps one of the
most debated concepts at the very heart of modernity. For Habermas,
the tension between the administrative power of the state, with its
understanding of sovereignty, and the emerging institutions of the
bourgeoisie-coffee houses, periodicals, encyclopedias, literary
culture, etc.-was seen as being mediated by the public sphere,
making it a symbolic site of public reasoning. This volume examines
whether the "public sphere" remains a central explanatory model in
the social sciences, political theory, and the humanities.
