Reading Response: Michel de Certeau

After I read this book, I can understand the difference between place and space. Place refers to order based on distribution of emlements in relationships with coexistence. Therefore, place seems to be static concept. It can be found everywhere in our mundane life such as stadium.

Meanwhile, a space can be explained as a practiced place. It can be created by factors of mobility. This mobility is someimtes involved in memories of the past. In other words, people give
special meanings to a place. In the case of the national cemetry, it is created to commeorate people who sacrifice for a nation. A noble place is converted into a noble space.

Hence, this kind of narrations help us to understand the concept of place and space better.

    You may delve deeper into the relationship between place and space. For example, space can be a practiced place while place could be a practiced space. How do you interchange the two concepts? Do you have other daily examples to illustrate this?
