The
Transformation of Public Culture:
Assessing
the Politics of Diversity, Democracy, and Community
in the United States
Symposium,
March 4 - 6, 2004
| |
At a time when the lines between public
and private space are increasingly blurred,
what constitutes public action? How is the
public defined and represented? Who shapes
and controls public space? And how are shared
public identities created and sustained?
Focusing on four central themes -- public
action, public image, public space, and
public identity -- this interdisciplinary
symposium explores the shifting meaning
of public culture and civic engagement in
the United States over the past century.
