Abstract

Frequently, efforts to establish the city's significance for the public sphere frame the city in opposition to the media. The city is imagined as a space of unmediated and co‐present publicness, while the media is imagined as a space of mediated and distantiated publicness. This essay argues against such an opposition. In place of it, the essay outlines an approach to the urban dimensions of public address which emphasizes the interaction of urban and media spaces and the mobility of public address. This approach is illustrated through a brief consideration of contestation over the governance of urban space in Sydney during the 2007 APEC Meeting. Résumé Les tentatives visant à déterminer l'importance de la ville dans la sphère publique conçoivent souvent la ville en opposition aux médias. La ville est imaginée comme un espace dont la nature publique est proche et non médiatisée, tandis que les médias sont imaginés en tant qu'espace dont la nature publique est distante et médiatisée. L'argument de l'auteur combat cette opposition. Il présente une approche des dimensions urbaines de la communication publique qui met en évidence l'interaction des espaces urbains et médiatisés ainsi que la mobilité de la communication publique. Cette approche est illustrée par une courte étude de la contestation soulevée par la gouvernance de l'espace urbain à Sydney lors du Sommet de l'APEC en 2007.
