The public sphere is a separate realm from thestate, the formal economy, and the family. Private
interests, such as monetary gain, and stateinterests in administration and order, narrowlyconstrued, are not the primary concerns of the
public sphere. In the public sphere, privateindividuals, rather than agents of the state, cometogether to participate as citizens

Various public spheres compete for legitimacyand for resources—both material and discursive
—that will allow them to organize, appear in thewider public, and make claims of (or resist) the
