Reply: Notes of a middle-aged Marxist
Article Abstract:
James Aune defends his pro-Socialist democrat political beliefs and his arguments on rhetorical and cultural studies on Marxism. He stresses that the civic republicanism he espoused in 'Rhetoric and Marxism' were not meant to gratify Jurgen Habermas but was rather intended as a means of seeking a rhetoric applicable to the American social formation. In addition, he asserts that the Franco-Marxist perspective is not in keeping with Marxist tradition, hence, its exclusion from his book.

The place of 'conversation' in the omnilogue of democracy: a reply to Schudson
Article Abstract:
Michael Schudson's theory that conversation is not the soul of democracy is agreeable but should consider conversation as a tool for understanding the ebb and flow of democratic life. Since democracy is communication as practised, metaphoric calls for more conversation must be heeded concerning matters of public importance. Modern technology has made it more difficult for making conversation a communicative ground for democracy.

Hegemony, concordance, and capitalism: reply to Cloud
Article Abstract:
A theory of concordance is suggested where a methodology for examining discursive forces within public media is provided. The theory offers a way of probing the dilemmas that contemporary social life often offers. In any analysis of a given society, the models that would be employed for analysis of social division and contestation must include more factors than those included in simplistic models that are based solely on class.
