The Policy Press has just published a new book: Rethinking
the public: Innovations in research, theory and politics edited by Nick
Mahony, Janet Newman and Clive Barnett. I am sure that it
will be of interest to members of this list.
“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
book rethinks the public, public communication and public action in a
globalising and mediated world. It looks at how publics are brought into being
and how to develop research agendas into their formation, offering a rich set
of methodological resources on which other researchers can draw and
foregrounding the need to interrogate the boundaries between theory, research
and politics.
It
is currently available on our website with a 20% discount, for more information
