Abstract

The term “flash”, which is used to describe phenomena such as “flash-mob”, seems suitable to represent the present condition of vanishing of the public. If, in the classical conception, the “public” was a term that connoted a specific coalition with a ritual of encounter and conversation, today, this concept has dramatically changed, and it designates any group of persons not specially qualified. The reconstruction of the media sphere in a context that combines the exacerbation of the capitalization of communication and information sector, the erosion of a common sense of identity, and the loss of a worldview that motivates the association of individuals accentuate the tendency to the volatility and ephemerality of the public.
