Глобализация и нормативность пространства
Globalization and Normativity of Space

Summary/Abstract: The modern sočiai and political discourse lacks conceptual framevvork that allows vievving the phenomenon of globalization and its attendant diversification of spatial relationships adeąuately and vvithout leveled objectivizations. Phenomenological and hermeneutical theory of space allows to reconceptualize not only the phenomenon of space and space identity, but also the modern sočiai transformations: we encounter today diversification rather than devaluation of spatial relationships. Borders are in lesser degree static limits of national statės, they are rather socially relevant "spatial" norms that always have dynamic and contextual character. The formation of a "spatial" norm depends primarily on the complex situation, in which a person involved. Globalization processes do not annihilate space (as many sočiai theorists today say), they on the contrary reveal it as heterogeneous lived space (normal\abnormal, own\alien etc), that is as intersubjectively significant space of our life-world. The life-world is always given to us in form of heterotopias, in form of dynamic, normatively significant places that differences make. The analysis of such places is possible by means of notions of space, action and significance. This discursive triangle allows not only to overcome "container" theory of space of Modernity, but also to elaborate a new (performative) concept of space, that will be able to afford interpretative tools for the analysis of so-called «real-and-imagined places» of our today's life, which make povverless the "national-state" axiomatic of traditional approaches. Such spatial categories as place, locality, statė, citizenship and homeland do not lose their normative relevance and reality for us, they show just their inward nature, which force us to consider them as our own task rather than an outside fact.
