If the twentieth century has been§dominated by discussions of the public, public life, and the public sphere, Contemporary Publics argues that, in the§twenty-first century, we must complicate the singularity of that paradigm and§start thinking of our world in terms of multiple, overlapping, and competing publics. In three distinct streams-art,§media and technology, and the intimate life-this volume offers up the§intellectual and political significance of thinking through the plurality of§our publics. "Countering Neoliberal Publics: Screen and Space," explores how§different artistic practices articulate the challenges and desires of multiple§publics. "Making and Shaping Publics: Discourse and Technology" showcases how§media shape publics, and how new and emerging publics use these technologies to§construct identities. "Commodifying Public Intimacies" examines what happens to§the notion of the private when intimacies structure publics, move into public§spaces, and develop value that can be exchanged and circulated.§
