PRIOR, Hélder  and  SOUSA, João Carlos. The Structural Transformation of the Public and Private. OBS* [online]. 2014, vol.8, n.3, pp.01-16. ISSN 1646-5954.

In this essay we will try to delineate a kind of genealogy of public and private binomial identifying, first of all, the historical sense of a secular dichotomy, then turning to the eruption of the private space par excellence. In the third and last part, we will pay special attention to the democratization of intimacy without, however, forgetting how progressive mediatisation of society contributes to the confusion between public and private experiences.

Keywords : Public; Private; Intimacy.
