Broadening the conversation begun in Making Publics in Early Modern
Europe (2009), this book examines how the spatial dynamics of
public making changed the shape of early modern society. The
publics visited in this volume are voluntary groupings of diverse
individuals that could coalesce through the performative uptake of
shared cultural forms and practices. The contributors argue that
such forms of association were social productions of space as well
as collective identities. Chapters explore a range of cultural
activities such as theatre performances; travel and migration;
practices of persuasion; the embodied experiences of lived space;
and the central importance of media and material things in the
creation of publics and the production of spaces. They assess a
multiplicity of publics that produced and occupied a multiplicity
of social spaces where collective identity and voice could be
created, discovered, asserted, and exercised. Cultural producers
and consumers thus challenged dominant ideas about just who could
enter the public arena, greatly expanding both the real and
imaginary spaces of public life to include hitherto excluded groups
of private people. The consequences of this historical
reconfiguration of public space remain relevant, especially for
contemporary efforts to meaningfully include the views of ordinary
people in public life.
