The Public Sphere

Although the quasi-confederal character of Yugoslavia, especially after the introduction of its 1974 constitution did not encourage the development of a genuine Yugoslavian public sphere wherepublic debate could transcend ethnic and republic divisions, it nevertheless allowed the formation of what could be called Yugoslav cultural space, a space within which social and political actors (feminist, peace movements) forged their identities regardless of the ethnic or national diversity that characterised their membership. However, the existence of this 'space' had a limited impact in Yugoslav politics partly due to the breakdown of inter-republic communication and the fragmentation of the Yugoslavian mass media. This paper traces the process of disintegration of the Yugoslav cultural space and the emergence of national 'public spheres' in the republics and provinces of former Yugoslavia and attempts to assess the role of the mass media and cultural institutions in these developments by identifying the key strategies of representation employed in the process of the fragmentation and 'nationalisation' of the public sphere of former Yugoslavia.

Discussion about the existence of women in the public sphere is still a matter that invites debate. This is due to the many discourse that develops in the community. The discourse influences one's thinking in seeing women who come down in the public sphere, especially occupying leadership spaces. Therefore, the writer wants to see how this issue is seen in Muhammad Syahrur's discourse using his boundary theory. This Syahrur's thought was different from the thought of the classical scholars who tended to be too 'textualist' in looking at the text. They are of the view that universal Islam is Islam that existed at the time of the Prophet. Syahrur also considered the different contexts of space and time as when the na'al of the Qur'an was revealed.

The present regime in China is actively engaged in attempting to reduce minority cultures to a contrived set of costumes and festivals. At the same time that the Chinese government uses modern methods of mass communication to carry out this programme, the Manzu minority is using the same technology to counteract government propaganda. This essay analyzes two videotaped performances, one a government program, the other an underground tape of a shamanic ritual, to argue that they present competing tropes of national and ethnic identity. These competing tropes in turn reveal tensions in the public sphere that keep Chinese identity fluid. To come to an understanding of these tropes, the essay considers the reactions of shamans and other members of the community in the context of a Manzu village. The analysis demonstrates the role shamanic ritual plays in maintaining a sense of Manzu identity.

In this chapter, the authors utilize contemporary sociological theory and examples found on the internet to explain how and why moral entrepreneurs deliver and spread erroneous information through mass media to create moral panics. The authors examine what is referred to as the “Latino cyber-moral panic” in the United States, in which immigrants are criminalized in cyberspace and targeted as the “folk devils.” The authors find that moral entrepreneurs use vertical and horizontal mass communication networks to recruit and maintain the membership of moral framing networks. Moral framing networks are particular sectors of the public sphere that share the same moral values as the moral entrepreneur. The moral entrepreneurs utilize the manipulation and the distortion of information, which is distributed in the form of simple messages and/or circular reporting via cyberspace. Moral framing networks can be generalizable, as they can take different forms and functions. Moral entrepreneurs create, increase, or lose power through the manipulation of a moral framing network.
