[Air-L] Public Sphere Article?

[Christian Fuchs]

Hi,

I have used the following syllabus for a lecture and an accompanying 
seminar on (digital) public sphere and do think it is crucial for the 
development of the general intellect and the academic culture of higher 
education that our students read texts by Habermas etc. that are not as 
easily consumable as hot dogs, otherwise we may end up with a fast brain 
food-higher education culture, which is probably already much too 
advanced...

Best, Christian
