The spaces and media for political debate are changing. Established patterns of social and political identification, such as party affiliations and group memberships, have become fragile. And the idea of a rationally deliberating public seems almost outdated. This lecture will identify some of the most significant political discourses of the present day and consider how political representation is changing as those being represented increasingly have the opportunity to present themselves.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Speaker<\/h2>\n<p>Julian M\u00fcller is a sociologist. He is a Senior Lecturer in Sociological Theory at the University of Hamburg and leads the research project \u201cRe\/Presentation: New Forms of Political Speech and Advocacy&#8217;.
