Home is a nodal point in a series of polarities, including family-community; space-place; inside-outside; private-public; domestic-social. These may not be stable but seem both solidified and undermined as they play out their meaning and practice in and through the home. The “public” is traditionally the state’s domain, while the “private” the citizens’. But where does “private” end and “public” begin? Can a border or boundary be placed between the two? Is such a boundary culture-specific or universal? Is it static or dynamic? Scholars often perceive borders as barriers and bridges, porous and impenetrable, and border studies have shown that urban entities have their own internal and external borders. I argue that such internal urban micro-boundaries can be found in the domain of domestic space, separating the private from the public, and that they are dynamic and constantly negotiated. Not necessarily marked, they are acknowledged by a mutual and tacit agreement, a social and cultural consensus. In this paper, I focus on common expansions of private into public space in Limassol, Cyprus, and the ways in which, this social consensus is achieved through the use of several tactics. As I illustrate, all these tactics seem to transform public space into private, on a symbolic level. The paper’s contribution lies in the examination of this type of boundary, which has received little academic attention, as well as in the introduction of the term “tactics of inhibition.”

Undeserving Poor

This chapter provides an account of how organilleros elicited public anger because their activity did not fit into any of the social aid categories that had been in place since the late eighteenth century. Social aid in Spain relied on a clear-cut distinction between deserving and undeserving poor in order to rationalize the distribution of limited resources and reduce mendicancy on the streets. Organilleros could not, strictly speaking, be considered idle, since they played music, but their activity required no specific skills and was regarded with suspicion as a surrogate form of begging. The in-betweenness of the organillero caused further anger as it challenged attempts to establish a neat distinction between public and private spaces. On one hand, organillo music penetrated the domestic space, which conduct manuals of the nineteenth century configured as female; on the other, it brought women into the public space, which those manuals configured as male.

Depth Interview

Being an empower women by actively showing her existence in the publicity is not easy. Moreover when it is related to leadership in the religion issues, where it is still dominated by men. This study aims to describe the existence that is fought by <em>dā'iyah</em> in the public space, whereas social construction holds them with domestication. This research uses descriptive qualita­tive methods. Techniques of collecting data by an in-depth interview, and validating by triangulation. The results show that “shalihah” concept is still closely related to domestic works, while the “imam” concept in the religion is still understood as a status that must be played by men. The criteria by sex are still in line with the quality of da’wah materials, da’wah methods, or even the knowledge of the missionary. So, <em>dā'iyah</em> feels a dilemma in carrying out their roles in the public and domestic space. For this reason, various strategies have been carried out by <em>dā'iyah</em> to maintain their existence.

Thread/Warp was an online durational performance that investigated into the idea of stamina amidst our performance-obsessed, techno-contemporary world. Performed live on July 14 in a span of 12 hours via Zoom (and occasionally streamed via Facebook Live), Thread/Warp featured two performers in separate screen windows as they navigated the spectacle and exploitation of their bodies in two intersecting spaces: 1) the confines and confidentiality of their private domestic space(s); and 2) the expansive and exposing nature of the public space via their relationship with the video cameras.&nbsp; Thread/Warp sought to explore what it meant to sustain energy, tenacity, resilience, and patience—especially in a climate wherein we are relentlessly expected to perform beyond what’s necessary; to tirelessly create infinite yet exhausted spectacles of both our physical and virtual bodies; and to constantly amplify our human stamina in order to brutally compete with the stamina of technology itself.&nbsp;&nbsp;To put the concept into methodical exploration, this project utilized the concept of space as a crucial stimulus in conditioning one’s body to perform beyond what’s necessary. Specifically, the project took into account two spaces that had radically shaped our relationship with stamina —the private and the public—no longer as two distinct and separate entities, but rather as spheres that constantly intersect, overlap, blur, and at times even trade with one another. Firstly was the method on the private space, in which Thread/Warp examined the shifting conditions of the private domestic space—from a supposed place of rest and rejuvenation to a place of perpetual labor and recycled productions—and how these unprecedented&nbsp; changes either deflate or escalate our stamina. Secondly was the method on public space, in which the project investigated how public exposure (via Zoom and Facebook Live) radically maneuvered our sense of stamina, and how this further warped and manipulated our relationship with rest, recuperation, production, performance, labor, and ultimately, individual purpose and meaning.&nbsp;By considering the interjections of the private and public space, the project explored how this further affected tremendous change in the dynamic, potency, and frailty in the performer’s body.&nbsp;

Community Space

Humans are social creatures who need the presence of others to complete their lives and have a place to do these activities. These needs are then the background for the formation of public space. With the changing times and technology, the need for a public space to do more and more activities. The space is referred to as the Third place by sociologist Ray Oldenburg. La Piazza is one place that can be called a Third place, but the place was closed because it was not going well. The purpose of this design is to reactivate the function of La Piazza as a Third place in Kelapa Gading. La Piazza Third place has a new design that emphasizes the concept of open architecture and architecture for the Third place as well as the concept of forests. so the design of the new building in addition to having spaces that are open to the public and community space, also gives the impression of being open and inviting as well as cool and calm. In this project, some existing structures in the old building were reused, such as basements, connectors to the parking building, connectors to the ivory coconut mall, and structures from the existing northern La Piazza building. There are 3 forest elements applied to buildings, namely water, greenery and sunlight. These 3 things can relax people with a lot of thoughts and stress about work, especially those who work in offices, according to Regent's University London research. Abstrak Manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang membutuhkan kehadiran orang lain untuk melengkapi hidupnya dan memiliki tempat untuk melakukan aktifitas tersebut. Kebutuhan inilah yang kemudian yang menjadi latar belakang terbentuknya ruang publik. Dengan adanya perkembangan jaman dan teknologi, kebutuhan akan sebuah ruang publik untuk melakukan aktivitas semakin banyak. Ruang tersebut disebut sebagai tempat ketiga oleh sosiologis Ray Oldenburg. La Piazza merupakan salah satu tempat yang dapat disebut sebagai tempat ketiga, namun tempat tersebut ditutup karena kurang berjalan dengan baik. Tujuan desain ini untuk mengaktifkan kembali fungsi La Piazza sebagai tempat ketiga di Kelapa Gading. La Piazza Third place memiliki desain yang baru mengutamakan konsep open architecture dan architecture for the Third place juga konsep hutan. sehingga desain pada bangunan baru selain memiliki ruang - ruang yang terbuka untuk umum dan ruang komunitas, juga memberikan kesan terbuka dan mengundang serta sejuk dan tenang. Dalam proyek ini beberapa struktur eksisting pada bangunan lama digunakan kembali, seperti basement, konektor menuju gedung parkir, konektor menuju mall kelapa gading, dan struktur dari eksisting gedung La Piazza bagian utara.  Terdapat 3 elemen hutan yang diterapkan pada bangunan, yaitu air, tanaman hijau dan cahaya matahari. 3 hal tersebut dapat merelaksasi orang yang sedang banyak pikiran dan stress akan pekerjaan khususnya orang - orang yang bekerja di kantoran, menurut penelitian regent's university london.

Resumen: El texto, titulado Fotografías que seccionan una mirada a Le Corbusier, analiza algunas imágenes de casas construidas de Le Corbusier y Pierre Jeanneret. Las fotografías tienen características comunes que nos presentan un plano en dos dimensiones, el marco de un hueco, y un espacio en tres dimensiones, el de la habitación representada. Las fotografías, al mostrar un hueco y un espacio, incitan a pensar que se están refiriéndose a la experiencia arquitectónica de traspasar un vano. Interpretaciones sobre el uso y la actividad en el interior del espacio doméstico en relación con el espacio público componen el resto del escrito. Abstract: The text, entitled Photographs that severed a look at Le Corbusier, analyzes some pictures to houses built by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret. The photographs have common characteristics that lead to the interpretation that we have a plan in two dimensions within a hole, and three-dimensional space, the room represented. The photographs, showing a hole and a space, incite to think that they are referring to the architectural experience of crossing a vain. Interpretations on the use and activity within the domestic space in relation to the public space make up the rest of the writing.  Palabras clave: Le Corbusier, Iglesia, Savoye, Cook, Planeix, Ozenfant.

This study explores Habermas’s work in terms of the relevance of his theory of the public sphere to the politics and poetics of the Arab oral tradition and its pedagogical practices. In what ways and forms does Arab heritage inform a public sphere of resistance or dissent? How does Habermas’s notion of the public space help or hinder a better understanding of the Arab oral tradition within the sociopolitical and educational landscape of the Arabic-speaking world? This study also explores the pedagogical implications of teaching Arab orality within the context of the public sphere as a contested site that informs a mode of resistance against social inequality and sociopolitical exclusions.

The Impact

The paper analyses specific features of sociological data circulation in a public space during an election campaign. The basic components of this kind of space with regard to sociological research are political actors (who put themselves up for the election), voters and agents. The latter refer to professional groups whose corporate interests are directly related to the impact on the election process. Sociologists can also be seen as agents of the electoral process when experts in the field of electoral sociology are becoming intermingled with manipulators without a proper professional background and publications in this field. In a public space where an electoral race is unfolding, empirical sociological research becomes the main form of obtaining sociological knowledge, and it is primarily conducted to measure approval ratings. Electoral research serves as an example of combining the theoretical and empirical components of sociological knowledge, as well as its professional and public dimensions. Provided that sociologists meet all the professional requirements, electoral research can be used as a good tool for evaluating the trustworthiness of results reflecting the people’s expression of will. Being producers of sociological knowledge, sociologists act in two different capacities during an election campaign: as analysts and as pollsters. Therefore, it is essential that the duties and areas of responsibility for professional sociologists should be separated from those of pollsters. Another thing that needs to be noted is the negative influence that political strategists exert on the trustworthiness of survey findings which are going to be released to the public. Using the case of approval ratings as an illustration, the author analyses the most common techniques aimed at misrepresenting and distorting sociological data in the public space. Particular attention is given to the markers that can detect bogus polling companies, systemic violations during the research process and data falsification.

The Public Sphere

The subject matter of research interest here is the movement of sociological reflection concerning the interplay of public and private realms in social, political and individual life. The focus is on the boundary constructs embodying publicity, which are, first of all, classical models of the space of appearance for free citizens of the polis (H. Arendt) and the public sphere organised by communicative rationality (Ju. Habermas). Alternative patterns are present in modern ideas pertaining to the significance of biological component in public space in the context of biopolitics (M. Foucault), “inclusive exclusion of bare life” (G. Agamben), as well as performativity of corporeal and linguistic experience related to the right to participate in civil acts such as popular assembly (J. Butler), where the established distinctions between the public and the private are levelled, and the interrelationship of these two realms becomes reconfigured. Once the new media have come into play, both the structure and nature of the public sphere becomes modified. What assumes a decisive role is people’s physical interaction with online communication gadgets, which instantly connect information networks along various trajectories. However, the rapid development of information technology produces particular risks related to the control of communications industry, leaving both public and private realms unprotected and deforming them. This also urges us to rethink the issue of congruence of the two ideas such as transparency of societies and security.
