Description
Summary:The recent social movements in different parts of the world have in common to occupy streets, parks and places, i.e. public spaces in the physical and urban sense. Their acting out is, however, not limited to these traditional actions. They also have in common that their actions produce a wide publicity (in the Kantian sense). In the Kantian tradition, continued for example by Habermas, this publicity allows the creation of “public spaces” (“Öffentlichkeit”) that bind members through their action and their deliberative communications. Deliberation, following some procedural and normative criteria, is contradictory, but it enables the development of meaning and finality of the action, and ultimately of society and the means to be employed to achieve these finality. The acting in the public space implies medias. This medias can take many different forms that are often complementary. These movements are questioned on their possibilities and capacities to create counter public spaces.
