However, both the socio-political relevance as well as the empirical dimension of this process . e.g. in how far counter-public spheres turn out to be a source of democratic public in reality are mostly left out of consideration in the scientific discourse. The article first reconstructs descriptive and normative opinions on counter-public from a media-based perspective, and elaborates on the relationship between the public sphere, counter-public spheres, and new media. Then it discusses the potential of counter-public activities to revive the public sphere, particularly in the framework of the European Union. Two case studies of European wide counter-public spheres are presented: the collective Luther Blissett and the network organisation of Attac. Their structural characteristics such as transnationality, network structure, and anti-copyright stance generate a new trans-European form of collective identity. As a result, the European integration may also gain (unintentionally) a new momentumIdeja kritične nasprotne javnosti je široko obravnavana, pri tem pa nista upoštevani družbenopolitična relevantnost in empirična razsežnost procesa - koliko torej nasprotne javnosti dejansko prispevajo k demokratizaciji javnosti. Članek najprej povzema deskriptivna in normativna pojmovanja nasprotne javnosti iz medijske perspektive ter razčlenjuje odnose med javno sfero, nasprotnimi javnimi sferami in novimi mediji. Sledi razprava o možnosti, da bodo dejavnosti v nasprotni javni sferi oživile javno sfero v okviru Evropske unije. Predstavljeni sta dve evropski študiji primera: kolektiv Luther Blissett in mrežna organizacija Attac. Njune strukturne značilnosti, kot so nadnacionalnost, mrežna struktura in negativen odnos do avtorskih pravic, spodbujajo novo, "transevropsko" obliko skupinske identitete. S tem lahko tudi evropska integracija (nenamerno) dobi nov zagonTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaEvropski inštitut za komuniciranje in kulturo - EURICOM
