"The Aesthetics of Free Speech: Rethinking the Public Sphere" is
one of the first books to theoretically explore the relationship
between free speech and the public sphere. By drawing upon Marxist
theory the author, John Michael Roberts, demonstrates how liberal
theorists frequently construct an abstract aesthetic of "rational,"
"cultivated" and "competent" discussion which then serves as a norm
through which certain utterances can be humiliated and excluded
from participating fully within the public sphere. However, the
author also shows how excluded utterances develop their own
aesthetic of free speech and how this aesthetic then comes back to
haunt the bourgeois public sphere.
