Résumé de l’intervention de Jostein Gripsrud
“The bomb blast and massacre of 22nd July was a horrific and unique event in Norwegian history. In the debates over relevant background factors and elements of an explanation, many have emphasised the terrorist’s long time participation in small anti-muslim and anti-immigrant web communities, national as well as international. Some have pointed to the American philosopher and professor of law Cass Sunstein, who warned against what he called cyberbalkanisation in his books Republic.com (2002) and Republic.com 2.0 (2007). Sunstein argues that the Internet allows groups organised around certain ideas or views to avoid counter-arguments and facts, and claims that social-psychological research indicates that such isolated groups breed extremism. In my presentation, I will discuss this thesis on the basis of the history of the public sphere in Norway and elsewhere in Europe, since this history has a number of examples of groups and social movements that tried to establish alternative public spheres as isolated from the mainstream, general public sphere as possible.”
