Quote: "Publics, by contrast, lacking any institutional being, commence with the moment of attention, must continually predicate renewed attention, and cease to exist when attention is no longer predicated." - Warner Pg 119
Question: Relating to the quote, does this mean that members of a public can have no interest in the rhetoric that they've accidentally consumed? Warner mentions earlier that if you come within earshot of something on the way to the bathroom that this makes you part of a public. Is this reasonable?
