The essay presents the public and private space from the reconfiguration imposed by the pandemic. It is considered that the information technology was inevitably intensified in order to face the pandemic and allow the continuation of life without major damages to the daily life. If before sociotechnologies were based on physical mobility and information technology for daily activities, restrictions on the use of public space have made information technology the main means of safe confrontation against the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. With this, the delimitation between public and private space is questioned, which also allows the problematization of the relationship between the individual and the collective based on biopolitical concepts, which are resized by the new context that is imposed.

The author of the article tries to indicate the relationship between the perceived presence of the Catholic Church in public life and the election preferences of Poles. The subject of the research here is the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2011 in the context of the perception by the electorate of the individual parties of the public presence of the Catholic Church in the selected aspects. Among them, the author points to: the issue of crosses and other religious symbols in public space, including the issue of a cross in the Sejm meeting room. She also recalls such matters as: religion lessons in schools, the religious nature of the military oath, priests appearing on public television, the Church taking a stand on laws passed by the Sejm and priests telling people how to vote in elections. The presented analysis is based on the results of the Polish General Election Study 2011.

This article analyzes the formative power of the Korean dawn prayer service to better understand the public and private dimensions of Christian spirituality. It explores the origin of the dawn prayer in the history of Korean Protestantism, and examines an example from a particular church. On the basis of this exploration, it is argued that the dawn prayer service should not be understood as an instrument to strengthen individual spirituality, but rather as a place to participate in God’s redemptive work to and for the world. Both the individual and communal aspects of dawn prayer practice are important, but I will argue that current Korean practice leans too much toward the individual.

A series of discussions about Slovenian cultural politics from the viewpoint of managers and creators of the performing arts. We interview three practitioners, producers and artists who question and contextualize their own actions. Simon Kardum has transitioned from activist to practitioner, from dreamer to politician. He is the manager of the public institution CUK Kino Šiška. Janez Janša considers the relationship between the public and private cultural sectors. He describes what the differences between the two are and were, and what they could be, and the consequences of erasing these differences. He is the longtime manager of Maska Institute, one of the biggest NGOs in the field of the performing arts in Slovenia. Iztok Kovac is a pragmatist, thinks in the long-term and focuses on the institution in the context of the individual and the contemporary dance genre. He is a pioneer in institutionalizing Slovenian contemporary dance and the manager of the Španski Borci Culture Centre. The interviewees see more errors and possibilities for development in the areas that they are perhaps less familiar with. Between the lines, we find space for possible dialogue, common work for a common cause.

This article discusses the meaning of public space and the problem of public reconstruction by means of sociological intervention through an experimental study of community formation and courtyard space rearrangement in the old neighborhood of Dashilar in Beijing. In the West, scholars regard public space as part of public life with political or social significance. In the courtyards of Dashilar, however, residents understand public space as important as a shared property of neighboring families that is separate from public life, as they are often acquainted with but alienated from one another. To grasp this different understanding of public space, this article first looks into the historical transformation of property rights in Dashilar. The courtyards in Dashilar have clearly been defined as state-owned urban space since the 1980s but have remained neglected in administration. Therefore, residents gradually encroached upon these courtyards that were owned by the state and divided them for private use. As this act of encroaching was rooted in the relationship between the state and the individual, the courtyards were not merely changed into privatized properties with specific functions, but became places for interactions between various actors. To reveal the complexity of these courtyards as public spaces, we discuss the expansion of private space by individuals in their daily life and the “public disturbances” initiated by temporary coalitions in space construction. This complexity of courtyards as public spaces can be well illustrated by two experiments of space rearrangement conducted in Dashilar. Both experiments introduced strong social interventions into space rearrangement: one attempted to rebuild social life in a courtyard, and the other worked on the public and private boundaries in a courtyard. The former experiment ended in failure while the latter was a success. The results of these two experiments tell us that public reconstruction is not just about rebuilding social interactions between people, but also about adjusting the state–individual relationship and establishing the rules of living together in public space.

The correlation between the psycho-physical well-being of citizens and the provision of green areas has been one of the cornerstones of urban planning since its inception, as its constant commitment to adapt cities and territories to emerging challenges. The spread of SARS-Cov-2 has changed the relationship between citizens and urban space. The public space, has been limited and banned, confining citizens within their private space and the psycho-physical well-being of citizens depended only on the quality of the domestic space.The pandemic represents a moment of reflection and research for the disciplines that deal with the quality of life of citizens. The pandemic crisis may be an opportunity to rethink the role and importance of the provision of public space, in particular urban green areas, their distribution and effective accessibility. The contribution aims to rethink urban models capable of responding to the challenges of the post-pandemic city

The Relationship

Following on from an audiovisual project carried out over fifteen years in cities in the South of France, the tourist sites are now being filmed as part of a new documentary series, in an attempt to better understand daily life in these easily stigmatised areas by telling the story. The aim is both to apprehend the public space from an urban (Paquot, 2009) and media (Habermas, 1978) point of view, in order to try to better understand it (Niney, 2000). The creative documentary offers both a device (Agamben, 2007) and the possibility of sharing an experience through art (Dewey, 1915) that encourages a sensitive approach to the tourist territory. It requires the narration of a territory in images and sounds, whether through the words of tourists (Augé, 1997) or travellers (Paquot, 2014) or through behaviour in “family films” (Odin, 1995), for example. This narrative of a territory is based on the relationship that man establishes with the tourist site. Thus, in a way, he fictionalises a reality by asserting a point of view. In this way, it allows a more or less imaginary journey for the person who experiences it, as well as for the spectator in the end.

This chapter analyses texts such as Virginia Woolf’s introductory letter to Life as We Have Known It, George Orwell’s The Road to Wigan Pier (and its influence in the 1950s), John Sommerfield’s Trouble in Porter Street, Tom Harrisson and Charles Madge’s Britain by Mass Observation and Naomi Mitchison’s Among You Taking Notes, in an investigation of the destinations of the proletarian-modernist trajectory from the late 1930s and on through the Second World war and into the postwar welfare state. In particular, the respective works of Woolf and Mitchison are analysed as attempts to resolve the ‘modernist question’ of the relationship between the individual and the collective by rethinking the relationship between the public and private spheres to produce feminist counter-public spheres that can be seen as versions of ‘proletarian literature’ that were not dependent on the patriarchal structures that were often found in male socialist organisations.

Immigrant Culture

This article examines how immigrant culture in modern-day France is communicated through Turkish associations as a medium of the public space. Through interviews with members of various types of cultural associations, I explore how public and private space dictate how culture and identity are understood within the French context. To better explain their goals and how they fit into larger French "cultural" discussion, I develop a simple typology of these cultural associations as "localizing" or "orientalizing" immigrant culture. Pointing to the space between these categories, I show the need for the immigrant experience to be recognized as part of French history in these public spaces in order to directly confront the issue of "neo-racism."

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.
