Abstract

Cities as territorial social universes reflect social conflict and are crossed by contradictions: how to read these contradictions in their thickening into a model of city and security in the perspective of the Constitution? This is the common thread of the paper which, in the context of the confrontation between the global city and the right to the city, ponders, taking as synecdoche the urban daspo, the hegemonic concept of urban security, dominated by the paradigm of social and political expulsion, in correlation with a panoptic bio-surveillance facilitated by digital technologies; among the «side effects», the progressive attraction of security to the administrative sphere is highlighted.
