ABSTRACT

So far, we have explored the dynamics of private sphere through the internal world of mind, the personal space of body, the exclusive space of property and the intimate space of home: the spaces of concealment. In this chapter and the rest of this book, we step outside to explore what lies beyond the private realm, in the public domain, in the spaces of exposure. We will explore the interpersonal space of sociability, the communal space of the neighbourhood, the metaspatial public sphere and the impersonal space of the city.
