Negt and Kluge oppose the bourgeois public sphere with a proletarian counter-sphere

Evidence

Negt and Kluge’s The Public Sphere and Experience, dedicated to Adorno and published in 1972, ranged from the analysis of the bourgeois public sphere as a distorting, expropriative form of the organization of social experience, to the concept of the proletarian public sphere as a `collective production process, the object of which is coherent human sensuality’. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 2758
