Public Sphere" (Bremen: edition lumière). It is edited by Leif Kramp,

cooperation with the European Communication Research and Education
Association (ECREA) at the ZeMKI, the Centre for Media, Communication
and Information Research of the University of Bremen, Germany. The

“Public Sphere, Space and Politics”, “Rethinking Media Studies” and
“Academic Practice”.
