Intellectual Scaffolding: On Peter Dahlgren's Theorization of Television and the Public Sphere
Working Paper
Minna Aslama- Topic(s) of work
- Television, Public Sphere
Abstract
In this working paper, my goal is to revisit Habermasian public sphere theory by first discussing its strengths and weaknesses in the context of today’s (western European) television landscape. I then move on to exploring one reconceptualization of television as a public sphere, that of the Swedish scholar Peter Dahlgren (1995 & 2005). Finally, I elaborate and further develop those key aspects of Dahlgren’s model that I consider particularly relevant for rethinking the public sphere of today.
