Hinweis der Redaktion
- Up to this point I told you about my interest in understanding space as shaper of social interactions. Yet, space does not only shape, it is also itself shaped by social and cultural forces. My understanding of space is multidimensional. Perception of space starts with our physical proximities and with the surfaces and bodies we can touch, see, or survey with our senses. However, we conceive of space as slipping through and melting into areas well beyond our immediate reach. In addition, human space is affectively charged. Space is in part stored in our heads as a component of various “imagined communities” conceived in a “good” vs. bad terms. Towns are divided, in our minds, into desirable or “to be avoided at all cost” areas. Nations are described to us as uneven spaces of excellence or nothingness – a vision that changes with one’s perspective. The world itself is stored in our minds as a collection of mental maps: Glamorous Paris, hip Amsterdam, dangerous Middle East, tidy Germany, uncomprehesible Balkans etc. Space is thus continuously idealized and simplified. This process takes place mostly in our heads. However, the images affecting it do not spontaneously originate in our minds. We are being fed a continuous stream of information coming from our surroundings or, most importantly, from communication channels.
