The relationship between civil society and public life is in the
forefront of contemporary discussion. No single scholarly voice
informs this discussion more than that of Jurgen Habermas. His
contributions have shaped the nature of debates over critical
theory, feminism, cultural studies, and democratic politics. In
this book, scholars from a wide range of disciplines respond to
Habermas's most directly relevant work, The Structural
Transformation of the Public Sphere. From political theory to
cultural criticism, from ethics to gender studies, from history to
media studies, these essays challenge, refine, and extend our
understanding of the social foundations and changing character of
democracy and public discourse.Craig Calhoun is Professor of
Sociology and History and Director of the Program of Social Theory
and CrossCultural Studies at the University of North Carolina at
