Abstract

The article reviews the various ways of occupying space and its formation, its construction before reaching the capitalist space and its specific construction, its phenomenology through its own and very diverse economic structures. Thus, in addition to verifying a historical path, the article also verifies this one in which we live, its perception, its management of affects: this is how, for example, the concept of space fetishism emerges as a powerful way to manage perceptions and their conceptualizations about society and occupied space. The article demonstrates space as a productive force and a need for its anthropogenesis: a process that does not mean “humanization” of space, but construction through production relations and class structures. It also shows how the structures of capital produce it by constituting a peculiar productive force of slower development; however, with industrial developments, space is finally subsumed by capital.

  • Marcelo Micke, CEETEPS (CPS) - Fatec

    Professor e pesquisador em regime integral (RJI) do CPS (CEETEPS) do Estado de São Paulo na Faculdade de Tecnologia (Fatec/Campus Mococa) e psicanalista (em formação). O campo intelectual de meus estudos configura-se especialmente nas interfaces entre filosofia da tecnologia, sociedade e formas atuais de sujeição. Isso envolve e articula de maneira muito especial a filosofia, a crítica social e a psicanálise com suas potencialidades de intervenção nesta crítica não sendo apenas, mas também, um campo clínico. Dentro desta perspectiva dá-se, então, estudos relacionados com as TICs e suas modalidades, suas configurações sobre os indivíduos dentro de uma sociedade de controle e de modulação das subjetividades, afetando-as tanto em seu fazer psíquico como também em seus atos educacionais fortemente imbricados. Isto é altamente relevante quando se fala em mundo digital e educação, sobretudo a depender qual o conceito de educação está em evidência: educação como formação e engajamento de sujeitos em complexidades da realidade histórica e social a lhe permear a existência.
