PEREIRA, Henrique Garcia. On the contemporary conceptualization of ‘ space' in western culture. Finisterra [online]. 2015, n.100, pp.55-66. ISSN 0430-5027.  https://doi.org/10.180055/Finis7864.

This paper discusses the philosophical category of ‘space', given its growing importance in Western culture. It explores the impact of this category in different sciences (beyond geography) and underlines its significant symbolic meaning in literature and the arts (evoking the PAINTING-ROBOTS example). Surrealistic flânerie and situationistic psychogeography are addressed as an interaction of urban space with the affective human mind. Finally, the paper focuses on the reordering of physical and virtual space in terms of its interaction with time, as a consequence of physical and computer-generated technologies

Palabras clave : Spatial turn; event; psychogeography; PAINTING-ROBOTS; surrealism.
