This book deals with the social, cultural and especially political
significance of media by shifting from the usual focus on the
public sphere and publics and paying attention to populations. It
describes key moments where populations of different sorts have
been subject to formative and diverse projects of governing, in
which communication has been key. It brings together
governmentality studies with the study of media practices and
communication technologies. Chapters consider print culture and the
new political technology of individuals; digital economies as
places where populations are formed, known and managed as
productive resources; workplaces, schools, clinics and homes as
sites of governmental objectives; and how to appropriately link
communication technologies and practices with politics. Through
these chapters Philip Dearman, Cathy Greenfield and Peter Williams
demonstrate the value of considering communication in terms of the
government of populations.
