Reading Response: Michel de Certeau

The difference between space and place is: place implies an indication of stability. In contradistinction to the place, it has thus none of the univocity or stability of a “proper”. I personally think that in most cases the extent of space is greater than the extent of place Larger, while places are more specific by comparison. So to a certain extent space includes place. However, the author believes: stories thus carry out a labor that constantly transforms places into places or spaces into places. Then the author uses a comparison between tour and map to analyze the difference between tour and map in detail. Talking about Making out boundaries: stories that already have the function of spatial legislation since they determine rights and divide up lands by “acts” or discourses about actions. And there is no spatiality that is organized by the determination of frontiers.

    I appreciate how you responded to de Certeau’s ideas with some of your own thoughts on the relationship between space and place. Do you think that de Certeau would have agreed with you that place is a subset of space? Can you think of any examples that may help you illustrate this idea?
