Una aproximació a l'espai públic mundial

Resum

This article, fruit of the reflections of a group of four professors of the Universitat CEU San Pablo (Valencia), deals with 9/11 and its consequences. Those dramatic events are food for thought about public space since, as we well remember, it was then that all discourse was centered on one single point, leading to the materialization of an abstract reference of the world public space. Not only in the case of the attack itself, viewed in direct around the world, but also in the case of the subsequent attack on Afghanistan, the background media henomenon was use of a world public space. The four points of the article are 1) the system of social stratification of the world, 2) the process of globalisation and the structure of communication,3) the actors on the world stage, and 4) the public space,the public and the media.
