Modern transparency dates to the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s-well before the Internet. Michael Schudson shows how the "right to know" has defined a new era for democracy-less focus on parties and elections, more pluralism and more players, year-round monitoring of government, and a blurring line between politics and society, public and private.

Rhetorically charged debates over theory have divided humanities scholars for decades. Rodowick steps back from arguments pro and con to assess why theory has become such a deeply contested concept.
