Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the human experience in urban environment through the analysis of behavior in public places marked by the preeminence of a subjective culture. Through a floating observation inspired in an ethnographic method the public behaviors presented by small-urban city dwellers was identified as well as the meanings that actualize them. It is noted how the situation of ordinariness of being (or condition of anonymity, even if relative) can be overcome in these spaces by high personhood movement strategies and public exposure. The article seeks to trace the complexity of the forms of public life in its different dimensions.
