In \u003cem\u003eThe News Event\u003c\/em\u003e, Francis Cody focuses on how imaginaries of popular sovereignty have been remade through the production and experience of such events.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePolitical sovereignty is thoroughly mediated by the production of news, and subjects invested in the idea of democracy are remarkably reflexive about the role of publicly circulating images and texts in the very constitution of their subjectivity. The law comes to stand as both a limit and positive condition in this process of event making, where acts of legal and extralegal repression of publication can also become the stuff of news about news makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the subjects of news inhabit multiple participant roles in the unfolding of public events, when the very technologies of recording and circulating events themselves become news, the act of representing a political event becomes difficult to disentangle from that of participating in it. This, Cody argues, is the crisis of contemporary news making: the news can no longer claim exteriority to the world on which it reports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47432993013996,"sku":"9780226824727","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226824727.jpg?v=1774765885"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/francis-cody.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
