• Resumen

  • The practical interest driving many 20th-century theories of the public sphere led Hannah Arendt, Jürgen Habermas, and Oskar Negt/Alexander Kluge to focus upon the various practices that bring about, and keep alive, a public sphere. Looking for common ground between their accounts, this article argues that all of them rely upon the concept of “Herstellung” (fabrication/work), as distinguished from action or deliberation, for a critical analysis of these practices. While there are significant differences in the ways they deploy the concept, its theoretical function is similar in that it sheds light upon the institutional, organizational, and medial conditions for public agency to arise. The concept thus enables reflection upon the political relevance of practices such as writing books, making films, studying the past, and commemorating the dead, as well as upon the infrastructures and publics that are constitutive for them.
