政治和社会理论中的大多数公共和私人生活概念都没有充分考虑到当代社会关系中所涉及的网络或流动性。公共部门和私营部门的区别往往被认为具有静态的"区域"性质。本文在对"公"与"私"的多重含义进行深入分析的基础上，对这种静态的概念进行了批判，认为无论是公共生活还是私人生活，尤其是公共生活与私人生活之间的关系，都在发生着巨大的变化。我们考虑的流动和网络，使流动性之间和跨明显的公共和私人。这些移动性既是物理的（以移动的人、物体和人机混合体的形式），也是信息的（以通过数据、视觉图像和文本进行电子通信的形式）。我们认为，公共和私人生活的转变，产生了“复杂的”配置的地方和空间：主导系统的汽车为中心的机动性，其空间流动性同时是私人和公共的;和各种全球化通过曝光的“私人”生活在公共屏幕和公共筛选的中介事件。这些移动的、机械化的例子表明，在许多社会和政治理论中发展起来的静态的、区域性的公共和私人生活概念化的局限性，并表明这种划分可能需要归入历史的垃圾箱。
Most conceptions of public and private life within political and social theory do not adequately consider the networks or fluidities involved in contemporary social relations. The distinction of public and private is often conceived of as statically `regional' in character. This article, following an extensive analysis of the multiple meanings of the `public' and `private', criticizes such a static conception and maintains that massive changes are occurring in the nature of both public and private life and especially of the relations between them. We consider flows and networks that enable mobility between and across apparent publics and privates. These mobilities are both physical (in the form of mobile people, objects and hybrids of humans-in-machines) and informational (in the form of electronic communication via data, visual images and texts). We consider the transformations of public and private life that have arisen from `complex' configurations of place and space: the dominant system of car-centred automobility whose spatial fluidities are simultaneously private and public; and various globalizations through the exposure of `private' lives on public screens and the public screening of mediatized events. These mobile, machinic examples demonstrate the limitations of the static, regional conceptualizations of public and private life developed within much social and political theory, and suggest that this divide may need relegation to the dustbin of history.
