In a media-based society it is the signs and signifieds, the meanings and habits
and conventions of speaking and thinking, the images and stereotypes which
control everything. This is something I would call the cultural grammar of reality
– and power is formed within it. Access and non-access to each and every
thing is regulated in its realm. What is OPEN and what is CLOSED is defined in
a complex process of negotiation, and we partake in it every single day. We
are not as helpless in changing the way of the world, as we might think. But
this process also has a downside: We have to be careful what we wish for.

We just might receive it.
