Audiences and Publics : When Cultural Engagement Matters for the Public Sphere, Paperback / softback Book

Audiences and Publics : When Cultural Engagement Matters for the Public Sphere Paperback / softback

Edited by Sonia (London School of Economics, UK) Livingstone

Part of the Changing Media, Changing Europe series

Paperback / softback

Description

In today’s thoroughly mass-mediated world, audiences and publics are, of course, composed of the same people.

Yet social science traditionally treats them quite differently.

Indeed, it is commonplace to define audiences in opposition to the public: in both popular and elite discourses, audiences are denigrated as trivial, passive, individualised, while publics are valued as active, critically engaged and politically significant.
