摘要

公共领域的理论——或者最近的多元公共领域的理论——是传播和媒体研究的核心要素。关于各自的理论存在着一场生动而充满活力的辩论，近年来所采用的方法也多种多样。本期《传播理论》特刊旨在评估公共领域理论在数字社会中的作用和未来:公共领域的概念是否仍然有用和需要，以及在哪里，哪些批评(仍然)有效，哪些不有效，哪些新的批评可能是必要的，哪些概念需要发展或阐述以有意义地回应数字转型?这篇社论介绍了这期特刊的主题和贡献，以及关于公共领域理论发展的九篇论文。

Editorial: Reconceptualizing public sphere(s) in the digital age? On the role and future of public sphere theory

Theories of the public sphere—or more recently, of plural public spheres—are core elements of communication and media research. A lively and dynamic debate exists about the respective theories, and the approaches employed to do so have diversified in recent years. This special issue of Communication Theory aims to assess the role and future of public sphere(s) theory in digital societies: if, and where, are concepts of the public sphere(s) still useful and needed, which criticisms are (still) valid, which not, which new ones might be necessary, and which concepts need to be developed or elaborated to respond meaningfully to the digital transformation? This editorial introduces the topic of and contributions to the special issue as well as nine theses on the development of public sphere(s) theorizing.
