There is nothing peculiar in the situation of living out one's life amid persons one does not know.
A World of Strangers by Lyn Lofland
(...) at border points between them (the different realms), ruptures in the moral order were not only possible, but were under some conditions probable.
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 44
The realm type (private, parochial, or public) is not defined by the physical sapce in which it is located bu by the relational form that dominates within it: - A private realm exists when the dominating relational form found in some physical space is intimate; - A parochial realm exists when the dominating relational form found in some hysical sapce is communal; - A public realm exists when the dominating relational form found in some physical space is stranger or categorical.
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 14
Whether a specific piece of space is considered private, parochial, or public is often a matter of conflict and/or negotiation. And spaces have histories. Even those that are consensually defined at one time may be redefined or subject to warring definitions at another time.
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 14 (sobre a trilogia)
(Parochial Realm) as characterize by a sense of commonality among acquaintances and neighbors who are involved in interpersonal networks that are located within communities.
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 10
(Private Realm) as characterized by ties of intimacy among primary group members who are located within households and personal networks
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 10
The public realm is constituted of those areas of urban settlements in which individuals in copresence tend to be personally unknown or only categorically known to one another.
Lyn Lofland in The Public Realm, p. 9 ( the public realm is made up of those sapces in a city which tend to be inhabited by persons who are strangers to one another or who “know” one another only in terms of occupational or other nonpersonal identify categories.)
A public place is accessible or visible to all members of the community.
