Isi artikel

This article examines the news events of summer 2005, focusing on the Valerie Plame leak investigation, the revealing of the identity of Watergate’s Deep Throat, and various stories pertaining to the Terror/War. In analyzing the ways evidence is deployed rhetorically, it begins to question an oppositional strategy that relies on publicity and exposure. The article instead calls for a refocus on the “secret sphere” of politics (especially within journalism), which is not the same as eliminating secrecy in the name of the public sphere. Finally, cultural studies’ strategic capacities are assessed with regard to evidence, secrecy, and revelation.
