ABSTRACT

DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE MEDIATIZATION OF PUBLIC SPACE THE CASE OF THE PROTEST THE CONSTRUCTION OF PAPER MILLS IN URUGUAY. The concept of the public has historically moved around the many ways that social science awarded at various junctures, from the changes identified in the social and political processes. At present, think the media and politics in relation to this category involves understanding the preeminence of the media, but not absolute power to exclude the public space of their geographical and community anchors, but as a mediation between the urban events.

We propose to question the idea of a total transfer of public space to the sand media, an approach to complexity it also think the role of geographic space, temporality and the scales on each passing social and political phenomena.

If we take for the conflict by the installation of paper mills Uruguay. This allows us to analyze the generation of a type of public space created by the media, from local one, taking into account, firstly, that what happens at the level of environmental Gualeguaychú assembly remains, while on another, the structure of public opinion is not given from the generalization of simple interactions.
