Rethinking the public: Innovations in research, theory and politics
Editat de Nick Mahony, Janet Newman, Clive Barnetten Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iun 2010
This book rethinks the public, public communication and public action in a globalising and mediated world. It develops novel theoretical perspectives for investigating the formation of publics, focusing on four overlapping processes: claiming publics; personalising publics; mediating publics; and becoming public.Using fascinating case studies, Rethinking the public offers a rich set of methodological resources on which other researchers can draw and foregrounds the need to interrogate the boundaries between theory, research and politics. It is ideal reading for higher level undergraduate and masters programmes in politics, geography, public policy, sociology, social policy, public administration and cultural studies.

Recenzii
This fascinating book presents a series of theoretically innovative case studies examining the processes of personalizing, claiming, mediating and belonging through which publics come to be known in particular forms. It very convincingly demonstrates that publics are not pre-existing political subjects, and will be an invaluable resource for scholars researching new political formations in topical fields. Wendy Larner, Professor of Human Geography and Sociology, School of Geographical Sciences, University of Bristol
This excellent collection fills a very important gap by providing examples to those starting out on research on how to link theory and empirical work in highly topical areas. Morag McDermont, Senior Lecturer in the School of Law and Programme Director, MSc Socio-Legal Studies, University of Bristol
