Dalla Presentazione: “[…] In conclusion, the recent sociological research on the quality of public space presented in this special issue focuses on use/desire/understanding in everyday life, which is gendered, class-structured and bound by racism but also by subjectivation. It does not have a simple, ostensive definition; rather it is still knowable through its correlatives. As we see in the papers, it builds a new glossary more connected to the great umbrella of sustainability: care, hybrid, generative, singularised, liminal and connected. The glossary already intercepted by the various theoretical sociological turns – spatial, performative, affective – in this issue of the journal draws interpretative relevance from the practices of refiguration of public space.”
