The Public Sphere: An Introduction

Front Cover
Cambridge University Press, 2005 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 265 pages
In this book Alan McKee provides an introduction to the concept of the public sphere, the history of the term and the philosophical arguments about its function. By drawing on many examples from contemporary mediated culture, McKee looks at how we communicate with each other in public--and how we decide whether changing forms of communication are a good thing for the 'public sphere'.
