2011 EUROSPHERE Summer Course


Sabancı University, Istanbul, Turkey
July 18-22, 2011

Theme: “Is public sphere exclusively a nation-state phenomenon, or is it possible to observe transnational public spheres?”


This course consists of five thematic components: The first component presents the ongoing research within the EUROSPHERE Project and introduces a discussion of theories of public sphere. The second component offers lectures analyzing the status of everyday life and human imagination in people’s understandings and experiences of the public sphere. The third block elucidates the role of civil society and democratic institutions in public spheres, whereas the fourth conceives the public sphere with a focus on diversity and domination in public spheres. The final component offers two philosophical analyses of ethics in public sphere.
