It is commonplace nowadays to speak of "transnational public spheres," "diasporic public spheres," "Islamic public spheres," and even an emerging "global public sphere." And such talk has a clear point. A growing body of media studies literature is documenting the existence of discursive arenas that overflow the bounds of both nations and states. Numerous scholars in cultural studies are ingeniously mapping the contours of such arenas and the flows of images and signs in and through them. The idea of a "transnational public sphere" is intuitively plausible, then, and seems to have purchase on social reality
