Englisch > Deutsch: Contradictory Space, 15 DINA 4 Seiten
Thema: Contradictory Space aus Kapitel 5, Henri Lefebvre, the production of space
15 DINA 4 Seiten (ca. 30 000 Wörter)
02.11.2011 Vormittag
Beispieltext:
What may be concluded from the foregoing considerations is the converse of a Cartesian axiom: abstract space cannot be conceived of in the abstract. It does have a ‘content’, but this content is such that abstraction can ‘grasp’ it only by means of a practice that deals with it.
The fact is that abstract space contains contradictions, which the abstract form seems to resolve, but which are clearly revealed by analysis. How is this possible? I-Iow may a space be said to be at once homogeneous and divided, at once unified and fragmented? The answer lies first of all - and this has nothing whatsoever to do with any signifier-signified relationship supposedly immanent to space - in the fact that the ‘logic of space’, with its apparent significance and coherence, actually conceals the violence inherent in abstraction. ]ust as violence is intrinsic to tools in general (since tools cut, slice, assail and brutalize natural materials), and to signs in general, it is also of necessity immanent to instrumental space no matter how rational and straightforward this space may appear.
