The Production of Space

by jessicawalker
  1. Can we read space as The Sign. What would be its signified and signifier? Can we say that the social would be the signified and the material the signifier? Understanding that the signifier always shifts but in relation to what we perceive to be object or material in space? Is space the ultimate sign?
  2. In explaining how to explain the relationships between production and space Lefebvre says we must “on the one hand with the extreme formal abstraction of the logico-mathematical space, and on the other hand with the practico-sensory realm of social space..” (15). Is there a third conception of space that is not covered by the logics of the scientific and the social? Im thinking here of DuBois veiled consciousness or Fanons triply conscious body.

Embodiment: Our bodies relation to space.

Space: Is created by and with people through social relationships but is mostly understood through logics of the scientific and the social.
