Abstract

Abstract: To understand what is referred to when talking about the public, it is essential to study two topics: the meaning of the public and the publicity of things. From the differentiated and articulated analysis of both topics, this text intends to reflect on the construction of this transversal category of the social sciences. ?erefore, in the first part, some considerations will be provided on the definition of this adjective, and, secondly, some methodological precisions will be made to research on the publicity of any issue. [...]in the polysemy of this adjective lies the main difficulty in approaching the first of them, the multiple attributions that subjects and relationships can confer simultaneously to the same thing complicate any investigation of the second one. Keywords: public, private, publicity, social subject, social relationship.
