Polarization as defined by the Merriam-Webster (2020) dictionary is “a state in which the opinions, beliefs, or interests of a group or society no longer range along a continuum but become concentrated at opposing extremes.” In theory, polarization is a static condition which can impact a particular group. In this thesis, it is argued that polarization is more dynamic than previously implied and t

The public sphere can be seen as a meeting place where people with different backgrounds, interests and worldviews interact. It is a virtual or physical site where political opinions are formed and news reported, but also where various forms of knowledge circulation take place. In this paper, the latter dimension will be in focus, in particular the circulation of academic knowledge. The perspectiv

Urbanization, immigration, cultural pluralism, the capitalist market system, changing conditions for women, the influence of mass media, and individualism are all characteristic of the social condition of modernity that have radically changed the context of ritual and transformed traditional patterns.
