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 perspectives will be mainly historical with examples from the postwar era. By introducing the “arena of knowledge” as an analytical concept, certain media platforms will be highlighted and their functions in different public knowledge systems will be discussed. In conclusion, the paper will show how academics can act not only as teachers and researchers but also to stimulate productive exchanges, expand conventional notions and enrich the public conversation.
