de Certeau provides keywords and discusses them in sets and talks about the relationship between the two. This blog will mainly focus on space and place.
de Certeau defines a place to be an instantaneous configuration of positions. It is an indication or coordinates of a specific location. I believe a place to be 2-dimensional like a point on a map. In contrast, space considers vectors, velocities, and time, making it a 3-dimensional area with action occurring in it. de Certeau says that “space is a practiced place” meaning space is a place where something occurs under certain factors.
Two types of space are “geometrical space,” similar to place, and “anthropical space.” For example, Asgard from “Thor: Ragnorak” is an anthropical space that gets its meaning from the presence of Asgardians when Odin says that “Asgard is not a place; never was. Asgard is where our people stand.”
