Reviews

'In a mediated era, the public sphere is up for critical reconsideration. This book is a vital step in that direction. It also provides the materials for rethinking the contemporary role of the public intellectual in a time when the public no longer exists. I heartily recommend it.' Willem Schinkel, Erasmus University Rotterdam, The Netherlands
