This article contributes to debate about how to conceptualize the global public sphere. Drawing on media practice theory and ethnographic research on media activism in the World Social Forum, it shows how ‘global publics’ can be constituted through a diverse range of activist communication practices that complicate both conventional hierarchies of scale and contemporary theorizations of publics as personalized networks. It develops an understanding of the global public sphere as an emergent formation made up of multiple, interlinked publics at different scales and emphasizes the significance of collective communication spaces for actors at the margins of the global network society.

通过世界社会论坛中的激进主义传播实践，将分布式、多尺度的全球公共领域概念化

本文有助于讨论如何概念化全球公共领域。借鉴媒体实践理论和世界社会论坛媒体行动主义的民族志研究，它展示了“全球公众”是如何通过各种行动主义传播实践构成的，这些实践使传统的规模等级和当代作为个性化网络的公众理论复杂化. 它将全球公共领域理解为由不同规模的多个相互关联的公众组成的新兴形态，并强调集体交流空间对于全球网络社会边缘的参与者的重要性。
