The virtual sphere: The internet as a public sphere
TL;DR: The internet and its surrounding technologies hold the promise of reviving the public sphere; however, several aspects of these new technologies simultaneously curtail and augment that potential as discussed by the authors, and it is possible that internet-based technologies will adapt themselves to the current political culture, rather than create a new one.

Democracy online: civility, politeness, and the democratic potential of online political discussion groups:
TL;DR: The study results revealed that most messages posted on political newsgroups were civil, and suggested that because the absence of face-to-face communication fostered more heated discussion, cyberspace might actually promote Lyotard's vision of democratic emancipation through disagreement and anarchy.

Politics, Society and Financial Liberalization: Turkey in the 1990s
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine several key dynamics which are helping to legitimate the neoliberal agenda of the 1990s, including the distribution of state largesse to manipulate electoral capitalism, the rise of an informal sector in the Anatolian Tigers, promotion of the seductive attractions of the market, and an antipolitical reform populism adopted by political actors to exploit popular disillusionment with the political system.

Tribal sovereignty and the intercultural public sphere
Abstract: While theorists of cultural pluralism have generally supported tribal sovereignty to protect threatened Native cultures, they fail to address adequately cultural conflicts between Native and non-Native communities, especially when tribal sovereignty facilitates illiberal or undemocratic practices. In response, I draw on Jurgen Habermas' conceptions of discourse and the public sphere to develop a universalist approach to cultural pluralism, called the 'intercultural public sphere', which analyzes how cultures can engage in mutual learning and mutual criticism under fair conditions. This framework accommodates cultural diversity within formally universalistic parameters while avoiding four common criticisms of universalist approaches to cultural pluralism. But this framework differs from that of Habermas in two ways. First, it includes 'subaltern' publics, open only to members of cultural subgroups, in order to counter relations of 'cultural power'. Second, it admits 'strong' publics, democratic institutions with decision-making powers. Finally, I show how the subaltern, strong institutions of tribal sovereignty contribute to the fair discursive conditions required for mutual learning and mutual critique in an intercultural public sphere.

Stepping back from the gate: Online newspaper editors and the co-production of content in campaign 2004
TL;DR: In their coverage of the 2004 political campaign, editors of Web sites affiliated with major U.S. newspapers continued to emphasize their role as providers of credible information, but they moved toward seeing that information less as an end product than as a basis for user engagement, participation, and personalization as discussed by the authors.

Public Space and the Public Sphere: Political Theory and the Historical Geography of Modernity:
TL;DR: Habermas's concept of the public sphere, and its place within his theoretical and empirical studies, is commendably concerned with linking the social and historical work with normative political theorising and its usefulness for geographical investigation is applauded.
Vernacular creativity and new media
TL;DR: In this article, the authors take a cultural studies approach to investigate the ways in which the articulation of vernacular creativity with digital technologies and the networked cultural public sphere might constitute sites of cultural citizenship.
