An investigation of how the idea of a public as a central fiction of modern life informs our literature, politics, and culture.
Michael Warner ist ein herausragender Gelehrter, dessen Werk die komplexe Beziehung zwischen Literatur, Politik und dem öffentlichen Raum kritisch untersucht. Er befasst sich damit, wie öffentliche Identitäten und Kommunikationsformen konstruiert, aufrechterhalten und über historische und soziale Kontexte hinweg transformiert werden. Warners Analysen konzentrieren sich oft auf die Queer-Theorie und die Kritik normativer gesellschaftlicher Strukturen und decken die Machtdynamiken auf, die unser Verständnis dessen prägen, was als öffentlich oder normal gilt. Sein Ansatz ist theoretisch und prägnant und fordert die Leser heraus, die Grundlagen des öffentlichen Diskurses und der Identität neu zu überdenken.
