• Resumen

  • Purpose:  In Makassar city, the coffeehouse is one of the most crowded places visited by the public from morning to night. Various elements are involved in it, such as the media, public figures, and community groups, interacting with each other to perform in a public space. Seeing the various public elements and the strategic role of the public space of Warkop that accommodate various interests, the existence of Warkop cannot be separated from the relations behind them. This article analyzes critically the various power relations that construct and shape the public space of Warkop.

      Design/methodology/approach:The qualitative approach with the ethnographic method is taken as a method of research. The research data are analyzed using cultural studies to reveal the practices and power relations that shape the public space of warkop in Makassar.

      Findings:  The research results indicate that every element of the public has formed the public space of the warkop. The different interests and social groups that exist have created distortions between public and private interests. The warkop becomes not only a space of social and political interaction (space of politics), but also it has undergone spatial politicization (politics of space).

      Research, Practical & Social implications: The results of this study have given social implications that the presence of warkop has changed the public's perspective on the role of coffee shops as a third and second space for easy interaction and exchange of interests.

      Originality/value: The results of this study have contributed to the development of cultural studies on the social function of warkop as public spaces
