In “The practice of everyday life,” it talks about “place and space”, and I have focused on the meaning of these two words and the connections between them.
In the text, De Certeau explains that the ‘place’ is an instantaneous configuration of positions, where ‘space’ is something that is composed of intersections of mobile elements and is a practiced place.
As I interpret the words place and space, I think that the word ‘space’ is a more abstract version of the word place, because when we say the word ‘space,’ we cannot exactly specify or point where that is, but with the word ‘place’ we can. That being said, I think that when the ‘space’ gains some kind of its meaning and story that one gets more aware of that space, it is considered as a place. Thus, space and place are concepts that coexist and cannot be considered separately.
