Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In After the Public Turn, author Frank Farmer argues that counterpublics and the people who make counterpublics-"citizen bricoleurs"-deserve a more prominent role in our scholarship and in our classrooms. Encouraging students to understand and consider resistant or oppositional discourse is a viable route toward mature participation as citizens in a democracy. > Drawing on major figures in rhetoric and cultural theory, Farmer builds his argument about composition teaching and its relation to the public sphere, leading to a more sophisticated understanding of public life and a deeper sense of what democratic citizenship means for our time.
