Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book explores the ways that scholars, journalists, politicians, and citizens conceive of "the public" or "public life," and how those entities |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are defined and invented. For decades, scholars have used the metaphors of spheres, systems, webs, or networks to talk about, describe, and map various practices. This volume proposes a new metaphor-modalities-to suggest that publics are forever in flux, and much more fluid and dynamic than the static models of systems or spheres would indicate-especially in the digital age, where various publics rapidly evolve and dissipate. |
