Abstract

When social relationships escape from confinement within a particular geographical locality, local communities lose their capacity for social control. The responsibility for public safety then passes to the state, which organises it through a hardening of the distinctions between public and private space. This model is currently being weakened by new tendencies towards deterritorialisation of social relationships, as well as by a weakening of the distinctions between public and private space, and national and international territory. At the same time, in urban areas in which marginalised populations are concentrated, there are further relocalisation initiatives which are creating for the state other problems of social control.
