Week 4—Subaltern counterpublics
Main reading: Yeh (2012); Leonardo (2012)
Other reading: Bonilla and Rosa (2015)
This week, we will continue our discussion of publics and counterpublics.
What is another empirical example of a counterpublic? What do you know about it? How did you learn about it? How is the situation in which you find it similar or dissimiliar to the one described by Yeh (2012) or Leonardo (2012)?
