Public Space: Culture of Representation
(Part 2 (Ending))

Abstract. One of the most essential social functions in modern city is setting up a comfortable environment, including the axiologically-oriented public space. The public sphere has evolutionarized from ritual to screen. However, humanitarian sciences interprete it quite differently. H. Arendt and J. Habermas link it to policy, democracy, claiming that it is in decline. In ideas of R. Sennett and C. Geertz it is defined as sociability, the ability of social interaction, realized through human contacts.

Keywords. Publicity, public, public space, discussion, Öffentlichkeit, city, sociability, ritual, screen, crisis.
