The kings body served as the first of many devices of symbolic condensation for social affairs. The idea of a public realm of citizens or a sociological aggregate the public did not exist until the eighteenth century. In medieval political thought, only one person was public, in the sense of being estimable and worthy of visibility: the feudal lord. Likewise, the trappings of office and symbols of sovereignty, for instance the princely seal, were deemed public (Habermas 1962/1974, 50). Habermas calls this form of publicity representative, an initially confusing term that uses the connotations of prestige, ceremony, and imposingness in the German word Repräsentation. Such publicity makes no reference to an open social site where citizens (a notion arguably quite lost from Augustine till perhaps Rousseau) participate in politics through discussion. It is rather the glory of power created by the personal presence of the feudal lord and estates (Habermas 1962/1974, 51; Habermas 1962/1989, 12-14). In contrast to the bourgeois public sphere, the medieval public sphere involved the display of prestige, not criticism, spectacle, not debate, and appearance before the people, not on their behalf (Habermas 1962/1989, 8). Its logic is succinctly stated by Prospero at the beginning of a performance within Shakespeares The Tempest: No tongue! all eyes! be silent (IV.i.59). A similar sense of the potency of the person informs the doctrine of the kings two bodies (Kantorowicz 1957; cf. Hariman 1995, ch. 3). The king, as stated by Queen Elizabeths lawyers, has both a body natural and a JOHN DURHAM PETERS","PeriodicalId":46298,"journal":{"name":"Javnost-The Public","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77605781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Apart from reinforcing traditional heritage activities, the custodians of national culture are attempting to foster belonging through the digital dissemination of cultural artefacts. Ironically, the same market-driven neo-liberalism which favoured the dismantling of the welfare state seems to underlie the production of electronic culture. Moving the heritage-technology link from the context of commerce to that of citizenship allows for the consideration of broader societal interests. Such a process can lead to a renewed social contract between citizen and state that would reassert social rights as well as institute a cultural right to access essential communicative resources for citizenship.These rights would be reciprocated by responsibilities of citizens for the ethical and conscientious use of common resources for the publ...","PeriodicalId":46298,"journal":{"name":"Javnost-The Public","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75396335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows how and why the BBC has largely abandoned any serious attempt to exploit these for public purposes. It argues that the BBC’s attempts to exploit them for commercial purposes are both ineffective and threaten even its traditional public service remit. The article suggests that the BBC’s policies on new technology have contributed to a pervasive “common sense” in UK political debate that new technologies cannot be utilized for public service goals. The article takes issue with this “common sense” by demonstrating how generally accepted arguments for the continued validity of public service broadcasting apply equally to public service use of new technology. Finally, the article argues that an expanded notion of public service broadcasting cannot be divorced from a more general challenge to cur...","PeriodicalId":46298,"journal":{"name":"Javnost-The Public","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"1997-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76040801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
