Seeliger, Martin and Braslavsky, Paula-Irene Villa (2022): Reflections on the Contemporary Public Sphere: An Interview with Judith Butler. In: Theory Culture & Society, Vol. 39, No. 4: pp. 67-74

Abstract

In this conversation, Berkeley-based philosopher Judith Butler offers insights into her understanding of the public sphere and its current transformations as a core dimension of political subjectivity. Beginning with her own understanding of Habermas' classic, the interview centers around its connection to other classical texts (e.g. of Hannah Arendt) and timely political debates.
