Book Description

Publication Date: January 1997

Free speech may be a condition of life, but does that right mean anyone will listen? In THE CAPTURE OF SPEECH, Michel de Certeau (1925-1986) offered a fundamental reassessment of what "free speech" really means. De Certeau emphasizes that all too often free speech is upheld in the abstract while social institutions work in such a way as to deny access to truly effective communication.
