On name production in city space: process and its levels

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses name production in city space in the light of H. Lefebvre’s theory of social production of space. Three levels of the production of space (perceived, conceived, lived space) allow different communication and hence also different name production on these levels. Attention will be paid to differences that manifest in the naming process which uses nicknames, official names as well as designations that need not be formally names. The article analyses the relationship between space and name production levels and the temporal sequence possibly accompanying the naming process. Special attention is paid to how name production levels may differ depending on one’s social role as well as to the possible simultaneity of these levels.
