During the 1960s the German philosopher J�rgen 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.

This volume examines whether the "public sphere" remains a central explanatory model in the social sciences, political theory, and the humanities.
