“……A public space is an institutional setting where communications take place on matters that concern all members of a community.
These discourses allow for the perception of identities, the understanding of difference and conflict, the probing of legitimacy, and the formation of political will. A public space is defined by its being freely and fearlessly accessible to everyone.
We would like to look at the physical and institutional spaces in which processes such as arguing, bargaining, deliberation, persuasion, and the tapping of ‘moral resource’ are taking place. Can we point to the emergence of new public spaces (e.g. in the arts and the interactive electronic media)? How do they relate to the decay and deformation of old ones (e.g. the spread of ‘gated communities’ and isolated parallel societies)? To what extent do the associations and organisations of ‘civil society’ provide arenas in which common political problems are defined, be it within or beyond the borders of national societies?...”
