El espacio público en conflicto: Coordenadas conceptuales y tensiones ideológicas
Resumen
En este artículo aportamos herramientas conceptuales y argumentativas para pensar y problematizar la noción de “espacio público”. Comenzamos esbozando los principales marcos discursivos desde los que se define “el espacio público” como objeto de reflexión en los estudios urbanos. Asumiendo la crítica neo-marxista al ideal normativo del espacio público como estándar ideológico mistificador de desigualdades sociales estructurales, subrayamos la inadecuación teórica y política resultante de ignorar la naturaleza contestada del espacio público como ámbito de territorialización de procesos y luchas sociales más amplios. Desarrollamos esta concepción crítica del espacio público como un lugar en el que se articula materialmente una disputa de orden ideológico en torno a la definición de los contornos de la publicidad legítima y la naturalización clasista del derecho a censurar y a excluir. Finalmente, señalamos algunas de las modalidades de conflicto urbano más prominentes que apuntalan esta visión desestabilizadora del espacio público normativo.Palabras clave
