FAU Multiple Public Spheres Discussion

At the beginning of her essay, Catherine R. Squires asks, “Is a counterpublic based on shared marginal identity, or is an expression of counterideologies necessary?  What if certain subgroups within a ‘coutnerpublic’ do not share the same counterideologies or participate in the production of counterdiscourses?  Does the label ‘counterpublic,’ in its multiple uses, help us understand the heterogeneity of marginalized groups?” (447).  What does she mean?  How does she address this issue?  Or, think about the ways that Dawson and Squires talk about the Black public sphere.  How does this fit with McKee’s discussion of “spectacle” in the text?  At first, there may not seem to be any points of connection, but I think there might be something there.
