Sfera publiczna trwale warunkowana. Studium przypadku powiatowej debaty publicznej w ujęciu morfogentycznym / The public sphere as permanently conditioned. Case study of a local public debate in morphogenetic terms

Abstract

This article analyzes the morphogenetic conditions surrounding the functioning of the public sphere at a local level, and identifies barriers to its development in Poland within the context of emergent social structures (interests) and culture (ideas, values). Such a context expresses the cultural, social, and economic dominance of one social stratum - the intelligentsia. Based on the ontological and epistemological assumptions of the theory of morphogenesis, this paper presents a case study of public discourse in Tarnowskie Góry. Qualitative field data (participant observations), elements of critical discourse analysis, and Jürgen Habermas’s assumptions of the ideal speech situation are utilized.
