Producing the Space of Democracy: Spatial Practices and Representations of Urban Space in Spain's Transition to Democracy

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Curiously, space is a stranger to customary political reflection. Political thought and the representations which it elaborates remain ‘up in the air’, with only an abstract relation with the soil and even the national territory.... Space belongs to the geographers in the academic division of labour. But then it reintroduces itself subversively through the effects of peripheries, the margins, the regions, the villages and local communities long abandoned, neglected, even abased through centralizing state-power.
