This article is based on a keynote address given at the ‘Community’ conference at Trinity and All Saints College, University of Leeds, September 18–20, 2003; many thanks to the organizers for the invitation and to the audience for stimulating comments. I also am particularly grateful to Henry Giroux and David Hesmondhalgh for their helpful and detailed criticisms of an earlier draft. 2. For example Beck (1997, 2000), Held (1995), Sassen (2002). 3. See in particular my recent work on media rituals (Couldry, 2003). 4. Cf Corlett (1989) on ‘community without unity.’ 5. See Clifford (1990), Hannerz (1992) and for discussion Couldry (2000, chapter 5). 6. On the latter, see Inglehart (1997); Klingemann and Fuchs (1995), Dalton (2002). 7. Cf Ricoeur's attempt to displace Levinas' asymmetrical conception of morality within a broader, intersubjectively grounded ethics (Ricoeur 1992: 189–190, 337–340). 8. Cf Couldry (2000: 51) and Ferrara (1998: 14–15), discussing Mead (1940). 9. Cf James Tully's vision of multicultural constitutional politics (1995: 184). Note also that Ricoeur, like Derrida, draws on Aristotle's concept of friendship and reciprocity (1992: 181–94), but in a more precise and specific way. 10. For my view (that cultural studies is best conceived as a discipline or at least a distinct methodological site), see Couldry (2000). 11. See Isin (2002), Giroux (2003a), Wacquant (2002). 12. Thanks to the Economic And Social Research Council for their financial support for this project (under Research Grant number RES143-25-0011). I wish to emphasize that the gloss I offer here on the project and its potential significance is my own, and not necessarily that of my colleagues on the project. 13. Cf Neuman et al. (1992), Gamson (1992). 14. Thanks to Tony Bennett for making this point in response to a related paper I gave at the 2002 Cultural Returns conference at St Hughs College, Oxford. 15. Note, however, that this is quite different from arguing, along with some Foucauldian positions, that ‘the political’ is merely a construction and nothing else is at stake in the term beyond the ceaseless constructions and discourses that play behind it. Much more helpful, if at first sight more ‘traditional’, is the work of Paul Ricoeur, which seeks to maintain connections between the political, morality and ethics, thereby avoiding the ultimate incoherence of Foucault's Nietzschean attempt to stand ‘above’ values (cf Taylor, 1986). 16. For the distinction between ‘politics’ and ‘the political’, see Wolin (1996). 17. For more details of this pilot, see Couldry and Langer (2003). 18. A fine exception is Croteau (1995). 19. Cf Williams' moving vision of adult education as a mutual process of transformation between teacher and taught, underwritten by their equality as citizens (Williams, 1993). 20. There is some similarity here with John Keane's ‘post-foundationalist’ notion of civil society (Keane, 1998: 53). 21. See for example Habermas (1989, 1996), Calhoun (1992), Benhabib (1996), Young (2000
