Naturally, this audience is often oblivious to the many, sometimes complex, decisions involved in constructing visual meaning through the montage of different ideas and elements. But, although these deliberate decisions are not normally communicated to the audience, the book is always to some extent a conception, or mediated presentation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The contributors to\u003ci\u003e Before Publication\u003c\/i\u003e consider the construction of visual meaning through montage, with each essay taking as its starting point a particular artifact--from Ed Ruscha's photobook, \u003ci\u003eEvery Building on the Sunset Strip\u003c\/i\u003e to works by Sergei Eisenstein, Muriel Cooper, and Marshall McLuhan to Tristan Tzara's unpublished \u003ci\u003eDadaglobe\u003c\/i\u003e anthology\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e A common theme threading throughout the chapters is the relationship between privacy and publicity.
