This paper explores the constellation of fear and the social forces, assumptions and images that construct it. The paper's underlying presupposition is that there are many locations for fear that run parallel to one another in modernity, one of which will be discussed here - the city. It begins by exploring two images and ideas of the city, around which the social theoretical tradition has revolved, both of which are linked in some way to the ideal of the metropolis and the counter-ideal of the stranger. The stranger invariably accompanies the image of the city, as someone who comes to it from the outside. This co-existence between integration and the experience of being outside generates the inner tension or unease of city life, especially when we are all strangers
