non seulement il ne parle pas d'espace (raison pour laquelle j'avais voulu lire le livre) mais en plus il sort le vomi post-moderne inintelligible rempli de slops de merde. le mec était dépassé déjà au moment d'écrire son livre le loser

c'est bien mais quand est-ce qu'on parle d'espace

(2/2)

This idea echoes Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception, which contrasts geometric space (abstract) with anthropological space (existential, tied to lived experience). De Certeau further likens space to language: just as a word gains meaning through speech, space is shaped by human action, context, and time.

In The Practice of Everyday Life, Michel de Certeau distinguishes between place (a fixed, ordered location) and space (a “frequented place” animated by human movement and interaction). A street, for instance, is a place when mapped by planners—but becomes a space when pedestrians transform it through their presence.

"As soon as his passport or identity card has been checked, the passenger for the next flight, freed from the weight of his luggage and everyday responsibilities, rushes into the 'duty-free' space; not so much, perhaps, in order to buy at the best prices as to experience the reality of his momentary availability, his unchallengeable position as a passenger in the process of departing."
