»Social Space: Product, Terrain and Strategy«About the lecture
The formulation “the production of space”, as introduced by Henri Lefebvre, contains several presumptions. First, concepts of space as well as concrete spaces are social products, resulting from social processes. As such, they reflect societal relations in one way or another. Second, they form part of the societal terrain on which individuals and groups act. Finally, and probably most importantly: They can be used strategically in multiple ways. When conceptualized in this manner, social science and humanities research can benefit significantly from a serious engagement with social space.
