[Draws] on recent theories of media and communication [and] also
deserves to be read as one of the most compelling arguments
available for the utility of the Foucauldian concept of
governmentality. The importance of attending to the ways in which
different kinds of modern subjects have been shaped through the
regulation of the 'conduct of conduct' are nowhere more effectively
and lucidly explored than here. . . .Vol. 7.3 2006
