Warner 90: "A public is the social space created by the reflexive circulation of discourse"
"No single text can create a discourse [...] a public is understood to be an ongoing space of encounter for discourse. [No] texts themselves create publics, but the concatenation of texts through time."
91: "Anything that addresses a public is meant to undergo circulation [...] Circulation also accounts for the way a public seems both internal and external to discourse"
97: "A text, to have a public, must continue to circulate through time, and because this can only be confirmed through an intertextual environment of citation and implication, all publics are intertextual, even intergeneric"
