A classic critique of Habermas' renowned notion of the public sphere
Oskar Negt is an award-winning filmmaker, a TV producer, theorist
and editor, and owner of the Development Company for Television
Production and Cairos Film Company. A student of Theodor Adorno and
assistant to Jürgen Habermas, he is now Professor of Sociology at
the University of Hannover.
Alexander Kluge is one of the major German fiction writers of the
late-20th century as well as film-maker, director, screenwriter and
an important social critic. A contemporary of Theodor Adorno, he
has won almost every German literary award, including the triennial
Adorno prize in 2009.
Kluge is a direct link to many of the giants of 20th-century German
art and ideas ... a polymath who moves between literature,
philosophy and the moving image with equal facility, and has made
decisive contributions to each of those fields.

well-known in the English-speaking world, to a German readership
they are familiar and key figures of critical theory.
