Continuity and Transition of the Twentieth-Century Democratic Theory : Mass Society, Civil Society, Citizenship

在二十世纪的民主理论史上，大众社会理论往往被遗忘。然而，大众社会理论在本世纪后半叶关于公民社会和公民身份的争论中以不同的形式继续存在着四个观点：(A)原子化，(B)通过操纵人们的准活动的公众参与，(C)政治无效感，(D)社会的大规模。到本世纪末，作为“公众参与”和“社会交往”的公民身份开始在全球化、多元文化的大众社会中被讨论。

Mass society theory tended to be forgotten in the Twentieth-Century history of democratic theory. Nevertheless, four points which mass society theory had presented continued to exist with different forms in arguments on civil society and citizenship in the latter half of the century : (a) atomization, (b) public participation with people's quasi-activity through manipulation, (c) sense of political ineffectiveness, and (d) massiveness of society. By the end of the century, citizenship as "public participation "and" social association" became to be discussed in the context of globalized, multicultural mass society.
