description The following work offers a reflection on how the public sphere has been redefined. These reflections are considered within the parameters of the transformations that have taken place in the relationship between the State and civil society. The article begins by looking at some of the academic and political discourses that expressed the need to strengthen the public space. This point of departure emphasizes the need to clarify the definition of public space, as well as the need to demystify the complex matrix of forces that underlie the discourses in question. Needless to say, this work does not pretend to bind the debate to traditional definitions, but rather to understand how such ambivalence and misunderstandings have come to feature in the strategies adopted by political and social actors. Without attempting to undergo a rigorous conceptual history, this work analyzes the transformation of the state-public sphere into the state-social sphere, concluding with some brief comments on the innovations that have accompanied the “return of the State”.

El siguiente trabajo es un intento por articular algunas reflexiones en torno a la redefinición delo público en el marco de las transformaciones en la relación sociedad civil-Estado. Se parte de ciertos  discursos  políticos  y  académicos  que  invocaron  la  necesidad  de  fortalecimiento  de  un espacio de lo público, en un intento de clarificación conceptual que apunta a los deslizamientos y matices presentes en esos discursos. Por supuesto, no se pretende zanjar la discusión a través  de  la  estipulación  de  definiciones  convencionales  sino,  a  lo  sumo,  de  tratar  de  entender cómo esas ambivalencias y equivocidades aparecen en las distintas estrategias de los actores políticos y sociales. Sin pretensiones de realizar una historia conceptual rigurosa, el trabajo analiza el deslizamiento de lo público-estatal a lo público-social, y concluye con una aproximación a las innovaciones que trae consigo “la vuelta del Estado”.
