In "Publics and Counterpublics " (2002), Michael Warner says…
We need to talk about how a public is formed
With: Texts and their circulation
Toward: Discourses
Based on: Queer Theory/Post-structuralim
Publics are formed by self-organizing discourses mediated by cultural forms
-Texts
"A pubic is a space of discourse organized by nothing other than discourse itself" (p. 413).
Warner arugues that the production and circulation of "texts" is what constitutes a public.
-Strangers
-Performativity
-Poetic world making
Questions/Critiques
-Is addressing to a social imaginary (p.422) enough for change? Where is hope? Latour.pdf
-His articulation of artifacts/technology is too narrow/discriminatory
