随着当代城市空间中社会协调和连通性的转变，部分原因是通信和交通技术和基础设施的日益混合，公共生活正在重新配置和重新空间化。在本文中，我认为，模型的“宣传”没有足够的关注，公众深深地嵌入在社会和机械复杂的人，物体和信息的流动性的方式。前半部分概述了移动和通信技术的融合如何为公众参与创造了新的时间性和空间性。在后半部分，我将转向一个理论方案来重新思考公共连接和断开，不是从传统的网络形象的角度，而是从哈里森白色描述的耦合和解耦的角度，将其作为更具流动性和偶然性的社会结构。公众在两个方面变得更加“移动的”：首先，由于移动的通信技术使新形式的流动连接成为可能，在私人和公共互动模式之间滑动的趋势越来越大;其次，由于新出现的交流场所和舞台，新类型的公众有机会暂时聚集或融合（然后同样迅速解散）。
As practices of social coordination and connectivity shift in contemporary urban spaces, in part because of the increasing hybridisations of technologies and infrastructures of communication and transportation, public life is being reconfigured and respatialised. In this paper I argue that models of ‘publicity’ have paid insufficient attention to the ways in which publics are deeply embedded in social and machinic complexes involving the mobilities of people, objects, and information. The first half offers an overview of how the converging technologies of mobility and communication have created new temporalities and spatialities for public participation. In the second half I turn to a theoretical programme for rethinking public connectivity and disconnectivity not in terms of the conventional imagery of networks, but as more fluid and contingent social structures that Harrison White has described in terms of coupling and decoupling. Publics are becoming more ‘mobile’ in two ways: first, there is an increasing tendency to slip between private and public modes of interaction, as a result of the new forms of fluid connectivity enabled by mobile communication technologies; and, second, there are opportunities for new kinds of publics to assemble or gel momentarily (and then just as quickly dissolve) as a result of newly emerging places and arenas for communication.
