Public Television in Poland: Political Pressure and Public Service Media in a Post-communist Country (Routledge Focus on Journalism Studies)
by Agnieszka WęglińskaThis book examines the professional activity of public television journalists in Poland operating in the still unstable system of a post-communist state, to demonstrate how the media can work in the public interest to strengthen democracy. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Telewizja Polska (TVP) journalists, the author shows how public television in Poland has become highly politicised and commercialised, and must defend against constant attacks on its autonomy. She draws parallels with the media systems in Hungary and the Czech Republic to analyse potential legal solutions and to highlight how Poland’s journalists are subject to influences from the political class as well as from the market – a situation brought about by flawed legislation, the absence of a political culture, an inefficient internal regulating process, and lack of suitable training for the journalists themselves. Adding an important perspective on recently developed media systems, this book will be an important resource for scholars and students of journalism, media studies, media industries, politics and media history.
Public and Private Man in Shakespeare (Routledge Library Editions: Study of Shakespeare)
by J. M. GregsonThe potential duality of human character and its capacity for dissembling was a source of fascination to the Elizabethan dramatists. Where many of them used the Machiavellian picture to draw one fair-faced scheming villain after another, Shakespeare absorbed more deeply the problem of the tensions between the public and private face of man. Originally published in 1983, this book examines the ways in which this psychological insight is developed and modified as a source of dramatic power throughout Shakespeare’s career. In the great sequence of history plays he examines the conflicting tensions of kingship and humanity, and the destructive potential of this dilemma is exploited to the full in the ‘problem plays’. In the last plays power and virtue seem altogether divorced: Prospero can retire to an old age at peace only at the abdication of all his power. This theme is central to the art of many dramatists, but in the context of Renaissance political philosophy it takes on an added resonance for Shakespeare.
Public in Public History (Global Perspectives on Public History)
by Joanna Wojdon Dorota WiśniewskaPublic in Public History presents international research on the role of the public in public history: the ways people perceive, respond to and influence history-related institutions, events, services and products that deal with the past. The book addresses theoretical reflections on the public, or multiple publics, and their role in public history, and empirical analyses of the publics’ active responses to and impact on existing forms of public history. Special attention is also paid to digital public history, which facilitates the double role of the public—as both recipient and creator of public history. With a multinational author team, the book is based on various national, but also international, experiences and academic traditions; each chapter goes beyond national cases to look transnationally. The narratives built around their cases deal with issues such as arranging a museum exhibition, managing a history-related website, analyzing readers’ comments or involving non-professional public as oral history researchers. With sections focusing on research, commemorations, museums and the digital world, this is the perfect collection for anyone interested in what the public means in public history.

Publicado en Toronto 1920-1924 (Documento Ser.)
by Ernest HemingwayEste volumen reúne los artículos que el Premio Nobel de Literatura publicó en Toronto Star entre 1920 y 1924, cuando aún no era conocido. Los artículos que Hemingway escribió para el Toronto Star entre 1920 y 1924 son en su mayoría anteriores a la carrera literaria del autor. Estos reportajes le permitieron ganarse la vida con la escritura y ver mundo, en especial Europa, cuando aún era un joven impresionable y desconocido que apenas había publicado unos cuantos relatos y novelas breves en ediciones de corta tirada. Aquí se vislumbra lo que sería el estilo del autor, su dominio de los diálogos y algunos temas que serán recurrentes en su obra, de tal manera que, como afirma William White -el especialista en Hemingway encargado de esta selección de artículos-, surge ya «el escritor creativo y el autor de algunos de los mejores relatos y novelas de nuestro tiempo». Reseña:«Hemingwayes un buen escritor. Escribe tal como es. Nos gusta.»James Joyce

Publication and the Papacy in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages (Elements in Publishing and Book Culture)
by Samu NiskanenThis Element explores the papacy's engagement in authorial publishing in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The opening discussion demonstrates that throughout the medieval period, papal involvement in the publication of new works was a phenomenon, which surged in the eleventh century. The efforts by four authors to use their papal connexions in the interests of publicity are examined as case studies. The first two are St Jerome and Arator, late antique writers who became highly influential partly due to their declaration that their literary projects enjoyed papal sanction. Appreciation of their publication strategies sets the scene for a comparison with two eleventh-century authors, Fulcoius of Beauvais and St Anselm. This Element argues that papal involvement in publication constituted a powerful promotional technique. It is a hermeneutic that brings insights into both the aspirations and concerns of medieval authors. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Publicity and the Early Modern Stage: People Made Public (Early Modern Cultural Studies 1500–1700)
by Matthew Hunter Allison K. Deutermann Musa GurnisWhat did publicity look like before the eighteenth century? What were its uses and effects, and around whom was it organized? The essays in this collection ask these questions of early modern London. Together, they argue that commercial theater was a vital engine in celebrity’s production. The men and women associated with playing—not just actors and authors, but playgoers, characters, and the extraordinary local figures adjunct to playhouse productions—introduced new ways of thinking about the function and meaning of fame in the period; about the networks of communication through which it spread; and about theatrical publics. Drawing on the insights of Habermasean public sphere theory and on the interdisciplinary field of celebrity studies, Publicity and the Early Modern Stage introduces a new and comprehensive look at early modern theories and experiences of publicity.
