商品簡介
The outcome of the working group "Islamic Movements and Discourses and the Public Sphere" of the Forum of Social Research, these eight papers examine how modern public spheres both reflect and mask discourses of order, contests for hegemony and techniques of power, focusing on the horizontal ties that bind together participants in social movements rather than those that are vertical and segmented. Subjects include how semi-religious movements transform "common sense" into "public good," how power and religion affect public life in Shiraz, the public life of Lebanese women, the global age and the public sphere, the distinction between the public and the private, communication and social construction in Pakistan, the relationships amongst the Intifada and Fatwa and the press, and the genealogy of the legal public sphere.
