Reconsidering the Consumer Citizen Ethan Porter. The consumer citizen
Bringing Back Place
This article examines the ways that American approaches to public administration and policy are heavily shaped by a Cartesian ontology that emphasizes abstract notions of time, space, and consequences that result. It proposes an alternative drawing on Heideggerian phenomenology. It examines the implication of moving our perspectives from abstracted notions time and space to authentic encounters in the world, and uses environmental policy as a ref…
Deterritorializing Utopia
The literature on technology, both broadly and in public administration, crafts its visions of utopia out of modern assumptions of the Enlightenment. The move into postmodernity has resulted in the emergence of conditions under which the deployment of technology results in paradoxes that simultaneously increase and reduce freedom. The use of technology, whether to improve centralized coordination and create efficient systems free of human messine…

Reexamining the Role of Digital Technology in Public Administration
This article begins from the premise that the Internet is representative of a range of digital technologies that are constitutive of the current sociopolitical moment. Exploring and extending the work done in the philosophy of technology, we examine the question of how public administration, in its role in governance and democracy, can relate itself to the Internet and other digital technology in a way that not only resists its devastation but al…
Building on Place
This article responds to the question of whether public administrators should work to encourage citizen identification with community as a way to build social capital. More specifically, the paper articulates a rationale for public administration's utilization of place—physical environment—as a mechanism to support the emergence of robust, active civil society. The article describes a fundamental difficulty facing many public organizations, the c…
The Social Bond and Place
Civil society is a widely discussed concept, often proposed as a means to address problems associated with a weakening of the social fabric. Nearly all civil society literature works from the notion that creating more dynamic discourse around any given issue will help build agreement about the key values and in so doing, the robust social bond necessary to resolve that issue will emerge. Research from other fields indicates that a strong social b…
