The Public Sphere Thesis and Media Sociology
Paul Jones

The public sphere thesis appears to be undergoing another period of 
reappraisal and even revival. This has been marked most obviously by 
an address on political communication and empirical research 
delivered by Habermas two months ago.  This paper will situate 
Habermas's current position in relation to 'the young Habermas' and 
the public sphere thesis's complicated relationship with empirical 
research in media sociology.  It will also sketch plans Paul Jones 
and Michael Pusey have for their ARC research on political 
communication in Australia.


Paul Jones is Senior Lecturer in Sociology at UNSW. The paperback 
edition of his Raymond Williams's Sociology of Culture: a critical 
reconstruction has just been published by Palgrave.
