Capital, historic formation, space fetishismAbstract
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.
