Abstract

Chapter Five completes Part One, bringing together the concepts of public (totality, authority, openness) and space (relationality, materiality, temporality) to explore the meanings of public space. First, general concepts such as the spaces of nation, society, and state are problematized to show their inherent multiplicities and fragmentations. This is followed by an analysis of the particular forms that public spaces can take, which include physical, institutional, and technological spaces. Beyond these general and particular levels lies the singularity of each public space as a unique place and a series of unique experiences. Each public space would therefore show to be simultaneously a unique place and experience, a particular type of public space, and a contribution to the general concept of public space as an inclusive space.
