In the routine spectrum of our lives, we inhabit the public sphere.
Whether in the street, the shopping center, or on the bus, we
engage with the empowered, the disempowered, the omitted, and the
powerful. Within the public sphere, the notion of public involves a
complexity of approaches to aspects of everyday practices of power,
performance, and place. Through these approaches, that which is
public can be visualized, experienced, and contested in the
construction, ceremony, and design of buildings, institutions, and
daily activities. In a variety of ways, the conceptualization and
contextualization of the public contributes to identity formations,
narratives of community, and manifestations of the political that
materially and discursively transpire within the public sphere in
the perceptions of inequality, metaphors for knowledge, and
critiques of consciousness. For this volume focused on interpretive
methods and methodologies that address the concept of public, we
present a lively engagement with methodological insight into the
political digestion of the public sphere. We delve into models of
and approaches to conducting research, the analysis of findings,
and the reaffirmation of enhanced techniques of related inquiry in
public spaces. We seek to explore the following questions: What is
the public? How do we visualize/understand/experience the public?
What are the ways in which these insights connect to articulations
of citizenship and democracy? How is the public implicated in the
political? The chapters originally published as a special issue in
Space and Polity.
