英文摘要 | By “the public sphere,” Jürgen Habermas meant a realm of our social life in which rational discourse happens, public opinion is formed, and access is guaranteed to all citizens. Habermas considered the public sphere arose for the first time in the eighteen century, is a specific phase of bourgeois society, and embodies the very foundation and nature of liberal democracy. Public libraries house and further rational discourse and continue the process of debate through building balanced collections, offering unfettered information access and cultivating the spirit of citizenship. Public libraries constitute one of the best institutions to enact much of Habermas’ concept of the public sphere. Being an international city with rich histories and cultures, Macau has provided the local community with its unique public library service since over a hundred years, which offers balanced collections in several languages covering a variety of subjects and reflecting different voices witnessing the vicissitude of the city, provides equal access to library resources, and advocates rational debate. Public libraries represent the public sphere in Macau, in particular, the Octagon Pavilion Library is an example par excellence by consistently offering unlimited access to a variety of newspapers to the general public since over sixty years. While Macau is often better known for its gaming related tourism, public libraries help to correct this first impression and mirror its real image. Most importantly, because of the public sphere they house public libraries significantly contribute to building a liberal and democratic community in Macau. |
