Description

This Routledge academic text reframes the public sphere beyond rational discourse, examining how comedy and theatre shape public opinion formation and cultural identity. The book investigates media's role in blurring public and personal identities whilst exploring the theatrical and comical dimensions of public sphere development. Through this lens, it reformulates understanding of common sense, personal identity, and culture, offering scholars and students a critical perspective on how performance and humour have historically influenced the spaces where public opinion emerges and evolves.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought series offering peer-reviewed academic analysis of public sphere theory.

Examines the historical relationship between theatre, comedy, and the development of modern public discourse.

Addresses how media confusion of public roles and personal identity affects rational discussion in the public sphere.

Reformulates definitions of common sense and cultural identity through the lens of theatrical performance.

Provides critical examination of rationality's shortcomings in public opinion formation and democratic debate.
