摘要

This article examines the pluralisation of the public sphere in Germany, understood as the result of structural differentiation processes viewed from a postmigrant perspective. It starts from the assumption that transnationalisation operates not only across borders but also as an internal social dynamic. The analysis focuses on communicative practices, organisational structures and individual forms of expression that create new arenas of communication beyond the traditional media-based public sphere and make marginalised perspectives visible. These processes reflect negotiations of belonging and participation and are shaped by hegemonic forms of mediation that intervene in pluralised publics. Despite their relevance, these dynamics remain largely underexplored in communication research. The article shows that they are a central part of public communication. It describes four ideal types of mediation: exile, diaspora, subaltern and hegemonic. It also names three types of intermediary actors: journalistic media, organisations and individuals. The term plural publics explains the coexistence of different and hybrid communication spaces in Germany.
