    Liberty and the News was published a century ago, the young Walter Lippmann’s fifth book. The slim volume merits a fresh read in our post-truth moment. “In an exact, sense,” Lippmann writes, “the present crisis of western democracy is a crisis in journalism.” For Lippmann, liberty constitutes a method, not a series of prohibitions and permissions. The book’s aim is to identify and examine potential reforms to boost the reliability of news—a project as relevant today as it is unfinished. Liberty and the News is republished in this mediastudies.press edition with a new introduction by Sue Curry Jansen.

    In the lead essay for this volume, Joshua Foa Dienstag engages in a critical encounter with the work of Stanley Cavell on cinema, focusing sceptical attention on the claims made for the contribution of cinema to the ethical character of democratic life. In this debate, Dienstag mirrors the celebrated dialogue between Rousseau and Jean D'Alembert on theatre, casting Cavell as D'Alembert in his view that we can learn to become better citizens and better people by observing a staged representation of human life, with Dienstag arguing, after Rousseau, that this misunderstands the relationship between original and copy, even more so in the medium of film than in the medium of theatre. The argument is developed further by essays from Clare Woodford, Tracy B. Strong, Margaret Kohn, Davide Panagia and Thomas Dunn, to which Dienstag responds in the concluding chapter, 'A reply to my critics'.

    Participation has become fashionable again, but at the same time it has always played a crucial role in our contemporary societies, and it has been omnipresent in a surprisingly large number of societal fields. In the case of the media sphere, the present-day media conjuncture is now considered to be the most participatory ever, but media participation has had a long and intense history. To deal with these paradoxes, this book looks at participation as a structurally unstable concept and as the object of a political-ideological struggle that makes it oscillate between minimalist and maximalist versions. This struggle is analysed in theoretical reflections in five fields (democracy, arts, development, spatial planning and media) and in eight different cases of media practice. These case studies also show participation’s close connection to power, identity, organization, technology and quality.

    "Democracy is today a concept that is overwhelmingly positively evaluated almost everywhere. A lot has been written about socio-economic and cultural backgrounds of democratic regimes as well as their institutional settings. By contrast, not much is known about the political manoeuvres and speech acts by which 'democracy' has been tied to particular regions and cultures in concrete historical situations. This book discusses a series of efforts to rhetorically produce a particular Nordic version of democracy. It shows that the rhetorical figure 'Nordic democracy' was a product of the age of totalitarianism and the Cold War. It explores the ways in which 'Nordic democracy' was used, mainly by the social democrats, to provide the welfare politics with cultural and historical legitimacy and foundations. Thus, it also acknowledges the ideological and geopolitical context in which the 'Nordic welfare state' was conceptualised and canonised.

     

    The contributors of the book are specialists on Nordic politics and history, who share a particular interest in political rhetoric and conceptual history.

  5. Politicizing Digital Space : Theory, the Internet, and Renewing Democracy

    "The objective of this book is to outline how a radically democratic politics can be reinvigorated in theory and practice through the use of the internet. The author argues that politics in its proper sense can be distinguished from anti-politics by analyzing the configuration of public space, subjectivity, participation, and conflict. Each of these terrains can be configured in a more or less political manner, though the contemporary status quo heavily skews them towards anti-political configuration. Using this understanding of what exactly politics entails, this book considers how the internet can both help and hinder efforts to move each area in a more political direction. By explicitly interpreting contemporary theories of the political in terms of the internet, this analysis avoids the twin traps of both technological determinism and technological cynicism.

    Raising awareness of what the word ‘politics’ means, the author develops theoretical work by Arendt, Rancière, Žižek and Mouffe to present a clear and coherent view of how in theory, politics can be digitized and alternatively how the internet can be deployed in the service of trulydemocratic politics."

  6. Forbidden Literature : Case studies on censorship

    "Freedom of the printed word is a defining feature of the modern world. Yet censorship and the suppression of literature never cease, and remain topical issues even in the most liberal of democracies. Today just as in the past, advances in media technology are followed by new regulatory mechanisms. Similarly, any attempt to control cultural expression inevitably spurs fresh discussions about freedom of speech.

    In Forbidden Literature scholars from a variety of disciplines address censorship’s past and present, whether in liberal democracies or totalitarian regimes. Through in-depth case studies they trace a historical continuum in which literature reveals its two-sided nature: it demands both regulation and protection. The contributors investigate the logic of literary repression, particularly in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and analyse why it is thought essential to control literature. Moreover, the authors determine how literary practices are shaped and transformed by regulation and censorship."

    The book gives an intriguing insight into how young people in Estonia, twenty years after the establishment of democracy, perceive their own role as citizens. It does so in a theoretical framework that stresses the embeddedness of the civic experiences in a media-dominated environment, thus closely linking civic and media experiences. Based on the analysis of both qualitative interview data and a relatively new method of using the internet as a complementary tool for engaging with open-ended diaries, the study explores the extent to which young citizens experience the media as being interwoven with their everyday lives and, in fact, constitutive of their social reality as citizens. With its particular focus on young Estonians, i.e. on a generation that has been brought up in a context of rapid political, economic and social change and that is well-known for its fascination with new communication technologies, the book is a valuable contribution to the growing international research on media and civic experiences.

    "Thirty years after Chomsky and Herman elaborated the Propaganda Model this title aims to introduce a new generation of readers to it. It presents cutting-edge research demonstrating the model’s general validity as well as new attempts – in the light of digital media and 21st century politics – to critically update, expand, and refine it.

    International researchers thus analyse the continuities and new developments in media

    Environments throughout various regions of the world. Part I addresses the theoretical and methodological dimensions of the PM beginning with an interview with Edward Herman on the model itself. Part II reflects on propaganda as a concept and practice within new mediated digital communications systems and interfaces. Applications of the Propaganda Model are featured in Part III notably new forms of media and content not previously analysed within it: the entertainment industries through the analysis of television, professional sports, Hollywood movies and videogames using quantitative and qualitative research methods. The last section presents case studies of corporate media and reporting practices as reflections of elite power. An extensive re-visioning of the PM this book concludes by identifying the fundamental dimensions of the model, the key modifications and expansions that are suggested—such as the inclusion of new filters—whilst assessing the model’s overall value for conducting research in different geographical contexts and media systems and products."

  9. The Divo and the Duce : Promoting Film Stardom and Political Leadership in 1920s America

    In the climate of isolationism, nativism, democratic expansion of civic rights, and consumerism that America experienced after the First World War, Italian-born movie star Rudolph Valentino and Italy’s dictator, Benito Mussolini, became surprisingly appealing emblems of authoritarian male power. Drawing on extensive research in the United States and Italy, Bertellini’s work shows how the political and erotic popularity of Valentino, the Divo, and Mussolini, the Duce, was not just the result of spontaneous popular enthusiasm. Instead, Bertellini argues, it also depended on the efforts of public opinion managers, including publicists, journalists, and even ambassadors. As such, the fame of the Divo and the Duce reveals both the converging publicity work undertaken in Hollywood and Washington since the Great War and the extent to which their foreignness was put to work in managing postwar anxieties about democratic governance. Beyond the democratic celebrations of the Jazz Age, this promotion of charismatic masculinity, while short-lived, inaugurated the now-familiar convergence of popular celebrity and political authority.

    A study of the conditions of being a citizen, belonging and democracy in suburban Britain, this book focuses on understanding how a community takes on the social responsibility and pressures of being a good citizen through what they call ‘stupid’ events, festivals and parades. Building a community is perceived to be an important and necessary act to enable resilience against the perceived threats of neoliberal socio-economic life such as isolation, selfishness and loss of community. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain explores how authoritative knowledge is developed, maintained and deployed by this group as they encounter other ‘social projects’, such as the local council planning committee or academic projects researching participation in urban planning. The activists, who call themselves the ‘Seething Villagers’, model their community activity on the mythical ancient village of Seething where moral tales of how to work together, love others and be a community are laid out in the Seething Tales. These tales include Seething ‘facts’ such as the fact that the ancient Mountain of Seething was destroyed by a giant. The assertion of fact is central to the mechanisms of play and the refusal of expertise at the heart of the Seething community. The book also stands as a reflexive critique on anthropological practice, as the author examines their role in mobilising knowledge and speaking on behalf of others Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain is of interest to anthropologists, urban studies scholars, geographers and those interested in the notions of democracy, inclusion, citizenship and anthropological practice.

    Seitdem das Fernsehen Politik macht, werden Einwände und Kritik gegen Regierende über den Bildschirm kommuniziert - die Bürger*innen sind in passives Zuschauen gedrängt. Der Aufstieg der sozialen Medien dagegen verspricht neue Möglichkeiten der Teilhabe. Doch wird der öffentliche Raum immer undurchsichtiger, komplexer und schwerer zu fassen: Meinungen und Verhaltensmuster werden zunehmend durch Algorithmen kontrolliert, die globalen Unternehmen unterstehen. Welche Alternativen bleiben angesichts dieser Enteignung? Dissidenz und Hacking? Im Spiegel der forcierten (Zwangs-)Digitalisierung durch die Covid-19-Pandemie widmet sich Néstor García Canclini aus kultur- und politikwissenschaftlicher Perspektive diesem Komplex.

    Secular criticism is a term invented by Edward Said to denote not a theory but a practice that counters the tendency of much modern thinking to reach for a transcendentalist comfort zone, the very space philosophy wrested away from religion in the name of modernity. Using this notion as a compass, this book reconfigures recent secularism debates on an entirely different basis, by showing (1) how the secular imagination is closely linked to society’s radical poiesis, its capacity to imagine and create unprecedented forms of worldly existence; and (2) how the space of the secular animates the desire for a radical democratic politics that overturns inherited modes of subjugation, whether religious or secularist.Gourgouris’s point is to disrupt the co-dependent relation between the religious and the secular—hence, his rejection of fashionable languages of postsecularism—in order to engage in a double critique of heteronomous politics of all kinds. For him, secular criticism is a form of political being: critical, antifoundational, disobedient, anarchic, yet not negative for negation’s sake but creative of new forms of collective reflection, interrogation, and action that alter not only the current terrain of dominant politics but also the very self-conceptualization of what it means to be human.Written in a free and combative style and given both to close readings of texts and to gazing off into the broad horizon, these essays cover a range of issues—historical and philosophical, archaic and contemporary, literary and political—that ultimately converge in the significance of contemporary radical politics: the assembly movements we have seen in various parts of the world in recent years. The secular imagination demands a radical pedagogy and unlearning a great many established thought patterns. Its most important dimension is not battling religion per se but dismantling theological politics of sovereignty in favor of radical conditions for social autonomy

    In Zeiten der Globalisierung und der Entgrenzung und Infragestellung staatlicher Souveränität erhält die Frage nach der Legitimität des Staates besondere Brisanz. Wenn Macht durch das Konzept der Legitimität in gerechtfertigte Herrschaft überführt werden soll, bedarf die Legitimität als solche genauer Betrachtung. Dabei ist nicht nur zu fragen, worauf die Anerkennung einer Rechtsordnung beruht, sondern auch, wie ihre Anerkennungswürdigkeit begründet werden kann. Die Vielschichtigkeit des Legitimitätsbegriffs legt es dabei nahe, ihn aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven zu betrachten und diese Perspektiven zu einem möglichst umfassenden Gesamtbild zusammenzufügen. Das Spektrum der an diesem Band beteiligten Disziplinen umfasst die Ethnologie, die Psychologie, die Rechtswissenschaft, die Staatstheorie, die Politikwissenschaft und die Philosophie. Er gliedert sich in folgende thematische Blöcke: Empirische Zugänge, Sozialwissenschaftliche Zugänge, Theoretische Zugänge und Entwicklungsfragen. Mit Beiträgen von Hermann Amborn, Eva Birkenstock, Sergio Dellavalle, Andreas Funke, Andreas Glöckner, Tobias Herbst, Ulf Kemper, Lando Kirchmair, Anna Katharina Mangold, Andreas Niederberger, Utz Schliesky, Peter Seyferth, Rüdiger Voigt, Claudia Wirsing und Sabrina Zucca-Soest In these times of globalisation and the denationalisation and questioning of state sovereignty, the question of the legitimacy of the state has become particularly explosive. If power is to be transformed into justified rule through the concept of legitimacy, legitimacy as such requires close examination. In this context, it is not only necessary to ask what the recognition of a legal system is based on, but also how its recognition can be justified. The complexity of the concept of legitimacy suggests that it should be considered from different perspectives and that these perspectives should be combined to form a comprehensive overall picture. The spectrum of disciplines involved in this volume includes ethnology, psychology, law, state theory, political science and philosophy. It is divided into the following thematic blocks: empirical approaches, social science approaches, theoretical approaches and development issues. With contributions by Hermann Amborn, Eva Birkenstock, Sergio Dellavalle, Andreas Funke, Andreas Glöckner, Tobias Herbst, Ulf Kemper, Lando Kirchmair, Anna Katharina Mangold, Andreas Niederberger, Utz Schliesky, Peter Seyferth, Rüdiger Voigt, Claudia Wirsing und Sabrina Zucca-Soest

    Die uns umgebenden Dinge haben mehr Bedeutung, als einfach nur Gegenstände zu sein. Sie sind Bestandteil eines Geflechts von Praxen, Ikonographien, Verweisen, Konstellationen und Arrangements. Mit bzw. durch Dinge/n werden wir erst zu dem, was wir sind. Dieser Umstand wird in der Gestaltung politischer Bildungsprozesse weitgehend ignoriert. Stattdessen wird weiterhin von einem Repräsentationsverhältnis ausgegangen, welches die Dinge in einem passiven Sosein auf Distanz hält. Damit bleibt die Konstitution politischer Subjektivität im Medium gesellschaftlicher Materialität (politische Bildungen), im Denkbild rein kognitiver Entwicklung gebannt. Um den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart begegnen zu können, darf politische Bildung aber nicht allein im Rahmen eines didaktisierten Wissensaufbaus schematisiert werden. Politische Bildungen müssen auch als Artikulationen demokratischer Subjektivität in einer gesellschaftlich-politischen Materialität entfaltet werden. Mit Beiträgen von Iris Clemens & Christian Heilig | Roger Häußling | Alfred Schäfer | Sören Torrau | Martin Repohl | Nikolaus Lehner | Simon Clemens & Marco Schmandt | Adrianna Hlukhovych | Hakan Gürses | Armin Scherb | Werner Friedrichs | Carsten Bünger & Kerstin Jergus | Gustav Roßler | David Salomon | Sönke Ahrens | Markus Gloe & Frederik Achatz | Moritz Frischkorn | Sven Rößler | Olaf Sanders | Kerstin Meißner | Nico Wangler The objects which surround us are more significant than just being objects. They are interwoven within a network of practices, inscriptions, iconographies, references and constellations. Only by means of and together with objects do we become what we are. This fact is widely ignored when educational processes are didactically designed. Instead, political education is still based on a representative relationship which keeps objects at bay in a passive state. In this way, however, the constitution of political subjectivity in the network of social materiality—political education—remains confined to the concept of a purely cognitive development. To meet the challenges of our present time, political education should no longer be schematised within the framework of didactically prepared knowledge building. Political education also has to be contrived as a performative statement of democratic subjectivity in the network of social and political materiality.

    Die Grundlage des politischen Lebens in modernen Mediengesellschaften ist die Fähigkeit, die eigene öffentliche Persönlichkeit selbstbestimmt gestalten und einsetzen zu können. Moderne Demokratien sind Mediendemokratien. In der Medien-Öffentlichkeit liegt die Möglichkeit, Politik wirksam zu bewerten und zu kritisieren. Der gekonnte Gebrauch der Medien ist der Schlüssel dafür, politische Urteilskraft individuell anzuwenden und dadurch die richtigen politischen Entscheidungen zu treffen. Wir leben in einer komplizierten Welt. Sie zu verstehen und politisch richtig zu bewerten, kann eine frustrierende Herausforderung sein, die einer Orientierungshilfe bedarf. Dieses Buch ist ein philosophischer Wegbegleiter durch die neue Medienwelt und enthält praktische Anregungen zur Umsetzung im Alltag wie die Frage, was denn meine öffentliche Persönlichkeit überhaupt ist? Strategien zur Vermeidung von Frust und Resignation, das Erkennen und Setzen eigener Grenzen, die Stärkung der eigenen Urteilskraft, Erlangung von Sicherheit im Umgang mit Fake-News. The basis of political life in modern media societies is the ability to shape and use one's own public personality in a self-determined manner. Modern democracies are media democracies. In the media-public is the possibility to evaluate and criticize politics effectively. The skillful use of the media is the key to applying political judgment individually and thereby making the right policy decisions. We live in a complicated world. Understanding it and assessing it politically can be a frustrating challenge that needs guidance. This book is a philosophical companion through the new media world and contains practical suggestions for the implementation in everyday life such as: the question what is my public personality? Strategies to avoid frustration and resignation, the recognition and setting of own boundaries, the strengthening of one's own judgment, obtaining security in dealing with fake news.

    Max Webers Interpretationen der Grundbegriffe wie Macht, Herrschaft und Staat sind heute akademische Gemeinplätze. Kari Palonen diskutiert, wann, wozu und wie Webers Konzepte entstanden sind und gegen welche Ansichten und Personen er damit polemisierte. Palonen analysiert, wie Weber die Kontingenz der Begriffe der öffentlichen und akademischen Sprache sichtbar machte und wie er mit dem Begriff der Chance ermöglichte, diese neu zu denken.Anschließend zu seinen langjährigen Studien zu Webers politischem Denken und Methodologie benutzt Palonen Idealtypen zur Analyse des Weberschen Werks. Im ersten Teil des Buches diskutiert er Grundsätze, mit denen Max Weber als Politiker der Begriffe operiert. Der zweite Teil enthält Beispiele – Politik, Macht, Herrschaft, Staat, Demokratie, Parlamentarismus – die Webers Praktiken der begrifflichen Revisionen veranschaulichen. Im Schlusskapitel analysiert er, wie Max Weber in Parlamentsdebatten zitiert und ausgenutzt wird. Max Weber’s interpretations of key concepts such as power (Macht), rule (Herrschaft) and the state are today academic commonplaces. In this book, Kari Palonen discusses when, why and how such Weberian concepts were coined and against which views and authors he used them in polemic debate. Palonen analyses by which means Weber emphasised the contingency of public and academic language and how his concept of ‘chance’ enabled him to rethink them.Following on from his studies of Weber’s political thinking and methodology over many years, Palonen applies an ideal, archetypical approach to Weber’s own work. In the first part of the book, he discusses the principles that Weber used as a conceptual politician. The second part includes examples — politics, power, rule, the state, democracy and parliamentarianism — which illustrate Weber’s practices of conceptual revisions. In the final chapter, Palonen analyses how Max Weber has been quoted and his ideas used in parliamentary debates.

    We often talk loosely of the "tyranny of the majority" as a threat to the workings of democracy. But, in ancient Greece, the analogy of demos and tyrant was no mere metaphor, nor a simple reflection of elite prejudice. Instead, it highlighted an important structural feature of Athenian democracy. Like the tyrant, the Athenian demos was an unaccountable political actor with the power to hold its subordinates to account. And like the tyrant, the demos could be dangerous to counsel since the orator speaking before the assembled demos was accountable for the advice he gave. With Dangerous Counsel, Matthew Landauer analyzes the sometimes ferocious and unpredictable politics of accountability in ancient Greece and offers novel readings of ancient history, philosophy, rhetoric, and drama. In comparing the demos to a tyrant, thinkers such as Herodotus, Plato, Isocrates, and Aristophanes were attempting to work out a theory of the badness of unaccountable power; to understand the basic logic of accountability and why it is difficult to get right; and to explore the ways in which political discourse is profoundly shaped by institutions and power relationships. In the process they created strikingly portable theories of counsel and accountability that traveled across political regime types and remain relevant to our contemporary political dilemmas

    Secular criticism is a term invented by Edward Said to denote not a theory but a practice that counters the tendency of much modern thinking to reach for a transcendentalist comfort zone, the very space philosophy wrested away from religion in the name of modernity. Using this notion as a compass, this book reconfigures recent secularism debates on an entirely different basis, by showing (1) how the secular imagination is closely linked to society’s radical poiesis, its capacity to imagine and create unprecedented forms of worldly existence; and (2) how the space of the secular animates the desire for a radical democratic politics that overturns inherited modes of subjugation, whether religious or secularist.Gourgouris’s point is to disrupt the co-dependent relation between the religious and the secular—hence, his rejection of fashionable languages of postsecularism—in order to engage in a double critique of heteronomous politics of all kinds. For him, secular criticism is a form of political being: critical, antifoundational, disobedient, anarchic, yet not negative for negation’s sake but creative of new forms of collective reflection, interrogation, and action that alter not only the current terrain of dominant politics but also the very self-conceptualization of what it means to be human.Written in a free and combative style and given both to close readings of texts and to gazing off into the broad horizon, these essays cover a range of issues—historical and philosophical, archaic and contemporary, literary and political—that ultimately converge in the significance of contemporary radical politics: the assembly movements we have seen in various parts of the world in recent years. The secular imagination demands a radical pedagogy and unlearning a great many established thought patterns. Its most important dimension is not battling religion per se but dismantling theological politics of sovereignty in favor of radical conditions for social autonomy
