Summary:碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 政治學研究所 === 93 === This thesis concerns about the hidden problems of public sphere in contemporary society. Through social thinker, Zygmunt Bauman’s liquid modernity theory, we can make sense for this topics,and uses Zygmunt Bauman’s liquid modernity theory as the basis for analyzing.My basic proposition is that the public sphere is now in the predicament as the transition of modernity, and faces new challenges. Briefly speaking, the act of translating private troubles into public issues is in danger of falling into disuse and being forgotten. I primarily sum up three major causes to this situation: the forces of individualization, globalization, and consumption behavior of capitalism. I hope this research can help we think about public sphere issues and strengthen the awareness of the obligations of citizens and importance of their participating.
