%0 Journal Article %T Complexity, erotica and conflict in the urban public space %A Enrique D¨ªaz ¨¢lvarez %J Revista CIDOB d'Afers Internacionals %D 2011 %I CIDOB %X This article highlights the importance of the urban public space, as the quintessential scenario of intercultural interaction and communication. From a context of globalisation, and from an ethical-political perspective, the author urges a reconsideration of the complexity, eroticism and conflicts that are characterised by coexistence in the city, as elements that are capable of directing dialogue, co-implication and construction of affinities between individuals who enjoy and champion the fact of being different. %K Public space %K urban culture %K complexity %K intercultural dialogue %K city %U http://www.cidob.org/en/publications/articulos/revista_cidob_d_afers_internacionals/complejidad_erotica_y_conflicto_en_el_espacio_publico_urbano2
