This dissertation is an ethnography of the Macedonian public sphere. It analyzes contemporary forms of international intervention associated with transnational "global governance" and European integration. Following the 2001 armed conflict in Macedonia, diplomats and officials from the European Union and United States saturated the Macedonian public sphere with value-laden evaluations of the country's political maturity and prescriptive expectations for its future. I show how the public speech of foreign officials in Macedonia depended on and enacted a different set of communicative norms, language ideologies, and metadiscursive regimentations when compared to the standards that mediated and shaped participation in Macedonia's national public. I then demonstrate how the gap between foreigner and Macedonian "regimes of publicity" animated new political and social engagements in Macedonia as political actors and ordinary citizens would refigure the discursive forms locally associated with "Europe" in pursuit of recognition and authority before contrasting international and domestic audiences. The dissertation details this recognition politics through ethnographic descriptions of: news media production, a grassroots protest movement, politicians' performances, and everyday genres of sociality and self-presentation. Ultimately, the dissertation contends that international actors' achievement of an "oversight public" in Macedonia, and Macedonian practices that presupposed international oversight, constituted a central dimension to the remaking of Macedonia's post-conflict and post-socialist social order.

520 $a This dissertation is an ethnography of the Macedonian public sphere. It analyzes contemporary forms of international intervention associated with transnational "global governance" and European integration. Following the 2001 armed conflict in Macedonia, diplomats and officials from the European Union and United States saturated the Macedonian public sphere with value-laden evaluations of the country's political maturity and prescriptive expectations for its future. I show how the public speech of foreign officials in Macedonia depended on and enacted a different set of communicative norms, language ideologies, and metadiscursive regimentations when compared to the standards that mediated and shaped participation in Macedonia's national public. I then demonstrate how the gap between foreigner and Macedonian "regimes of publicity" animated new political and social engagements in Macedonia as political actors and ordinary citizens would refigure the discursive forms locally associated with "Europe" in pursuit of recognition and authority before contrasting international and domestic audiences. The dissertation details this recognition politics through ethnographic descriptions of: news media production, a grassroots protest movement, politicians' performances, and everyday genres of sociality and self-presentation. Ultimately, the dissertation contends that international actors' achievement of an "oversight public" in Macedonia, and Macedonian practices that presupposed international oversight, constituted a central dimension to the remaking of Macedonia's post-conflict and post-socialist social order.
520 $a By tying Macedonian ways of being and acting in public together with this particular rendering of post-conflict democracy-building, the dissertation amounts an ethnographic account of a new political subject who is dually interpellated by local social relations and the presumed gaze of foreigners. I illustrate how the double consciousness of Macedonian forms of publicity catalyzed an internationally sanctioned, neoliberal redistribution of rights and responsibility at the expense of pre-existing models of social entitlement. My attention to foreigner and Macedonian modes of publicity, and the tensions between them, provides a novel analytic and theoretical window on political communication and its relation to political structure, governmentality and political subjectivity. The dissertation adds a critical, ethnographic perspective to the study of global governance and European Union enlargement by a focus on communicative aspects of the cultural politics intrinsic to any transnational political exercise.
