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. 410 0$aRhetoric, culture, and social critique. 606 $aPolitics and culture$zUnited States 606 $aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aPolitics and culture 615 0$aRhetoric$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aMass media$xSocial aspects 615 0$aMass media$xPolitical aspects 676 $a306.20973 701 $aBrouwer$b Daniel C.$f1970-$01537649 701 $aAsen$b Robert$f1968-$0961289 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785055903321 996 $aPublic modalities$93787068 997 $aUNINA
