Abstract EN

In sociology, public space is primarily the social space "patterns of living together" and recognition of the other in the constantly changing public domain, and in this sense the public social space "use" raises the question of the development of practices and behaviors in the face of complex social phenomena.

In his research on the theory of social space, Pierre Bourdieu calls for cutting the arguments of Marxist, cultural, and economic sociological analysis(Bourdieu, Question de sociologie,,., 1984).

(Social space, however, is not occupied only by classes, as Marxism sees, neither production relations (the economic sphere) nor dominant group of protest prevail) Cultural Heritage) Bourdieu links his conception of this space with the concept of the social world and the social field.

The social space consists of several levels.

As for the social field, it is dominated by dominating relationships, as it is a place for a hidden and declared struggle to define the legitimate principles of dividing the benefits of this field.

The status of individuals and groups is determined by the positions it occupies within this social space.

Accordingly, the social space is not a geographical space, nor a grouping of persons, but rather a social structure, hidden, dynamic, interactive, that must be revealed.

Contrary to what was written about social space, Bourdieu's conception reveals that what takes place inside space is not always aimed at change and spreading democracy(Habermas, 1997).

but rather to impose hegemony and perpetuate conditions, and therefore, the dynamics of the public social space must be highlighted: dynamism Change, dynamic and conservative.
