Abstract: | In the face of the failure of the neoliberal project in Africa, can we afford to continue to ignore the Habermasian concept of the public sphere? This question is addressed in the following contributions: Interrogating public sphere and popular culture as theoretical concepts on their value in African Studies (Wendy Williams); The public sphere in 21st century Africa: broadening the horizons of democratisation (Abdul Raufu Mustapha); Public sphere and epistemologies of the South (Boaventura de Sousa Santos); The emergence of public spheres in colonial Cameroon: palm wine drinking joints in Bamenda township (Nicodemus Fru Awasom); Ambivalence and activism: netizens, social transformation and African virtual publics (Yunusa Z. Ya'u); The Internnet as public sphere: a Zimbabwean case study (1999-2008) (Kudakwashe Manganga). [ASC Leiden abstract] |
