The new public sphere (Jon Dovey) is full of binarised argument and its accompanying performative strategies: private v. public; elitist v. democratic; old fashion v. new fashion; access v. surveillance; the disciplinary social v. the personal libertarian. Instead of certainties expressed collectively, we have attitudes struck personally. A more (and increasingly) performative society accustomed to striking attitudes tends to fragment political and ethical discussion. Is it still in our* hands to counter this? * Who is this 'we'? [Peter Hughes]. My thoughts: Audience? Educators? Programme/policy makers? My tentative answer: all these. |
