[CITASA] Public Sphere Guide and Forum

[Andreas Koller]

Some on this list might be interested in the news about the launch of  
the beta version of the Public Sphere Guide, co-sponsored by the  
Social Science Research Council (SSRC) and NYU's Institute for Public  
Knowledge (IPK):

The Public Sphere Guide serves as a research guide and teaching guide  
and as a guide to the SSRC's public sphere program area, creating a  
map of the fragmented interdisciplinary field of study and building a  
resource for the renewal of the public sphere.

This mapping project is accompanied by an essay forum on  
Transformations of the Public Sphere. The initial essays include  
contributions from the recent ICA 2009 Mini-Plenary on "Keywords: The  
Public Sphere, Public Culture and Reasoned Public Choice." The forum  
includes essays by Michael Schudson, Shanto Iyengar and James Curran,  
Michael X. Delli Carpini and Craig Calhoun. Forthcoming contributions  
include essays by Lauren Berlant, Daniel C. Hallin, Nick Couldry and  
others. The forum is interactive. Readers of the essays are invited to  
submit comments.
