Употреби на пространството в упражняването на мисленето - Мишел Фуко
Use of Space in the Exercise of Thinking - Michel Foucault

Summary/Abstract: The text undertakes to problematise the 'spatialisation' of the Foucauldian discourse, i.e. (a) the strategic motives to the preference for the category of 'space'; (b) the procedures and principles of thinking of and through 'space'; and (c) the conceptual consequences thereof. Following this optic, a multilevel and liberalised reconstruction is proposed of the Foucauldian 'uses' of cultural spaces. This is the text's basic task: to suggest an optic for a new possible arrangement and for the discovery of more coherency in Foucault's 'system of discursivity'. On this plane, spatialisation is construed generalisationally and as a factor for the elaboration of an 'ethnology of culture', i.e. as an ethos. The second task of the text is, by considering related research procedures and thematic nodes, to genealogically contextualise the current postmodern debates on 'spatialisation' of both the contemporary theoretisations and the actual cultural experience; i.e. to show Foucault as one of the founders of the attitude toward spatial discursivity, and to show this discursivity as a trait of postmodern thinking.
