«El animal público» is Manuel Delgado's urban anthropology essay, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (224 pages, in Spanish).
The city appears as a fabric of ephemeral relationships and improvised pacts, not stable communities. Delgado proposes an anthropology attentive to what floats on the urban surface: changing dynamics, fleeting encounters, and unpredictable uses of public space. That space, watched over by power, is also a stage for disobedience and emancipation.
It belongs to Anagrama's Argumentos collection, volume 229, and won the XXVII Anagrama Essay Prize in 1999.
For readers of essays and social sciences interested in urban life and social interaction.
