PLACE IN THE MONDIALIZATION PROCESS
Place
part of a territory that can be described through two different aspects
TOPOGRAPHICAL
place where someone/something is located or where something happens
related to a position which makes us able to geolocate a class
this approach produces the same result > i.e. Piazza Vecchia is the most important square in Città Alta and people do the same map to describe it
topos
> place of localization, georeferenced in a map
CHORA
place someone/something belongs to, with a value and a meaning
you think about the atmosphere, memories, values that people inhabiting that place would perceive in a certain moment, connected to a specific action
belonging of the place to someone, place of social meaning
Jacque Levy: Place
spatial extention in which
distance is not relevant
there is a transfer of the identity of a society
central node of the knowledge of the space and society
something related to co-presence (different people in different place) and co-spatiality (the same action on space at the same time, by different people)
Mondialization
characterized by the movement of people, objects
through this movement information and data are produced
based on mobility
3 ways to cover distance
mobility
technology (i.e. Google call from Italy to Burkina Faso)
co-presence (there's no distance, we are in the same place)
Michel Lussault: Hyperplace
place: part of territory where the co-presence has space and mobility and technology are connected due to form a
hyperplace
spatial extention in which
there is a political/touristic/economical function
there is a transfer of the identity of the world society
Examples
Time square
> hyperplace
place where
The Times
(journal) was founded
because there is the co-presence of an international society made possible by technology
from Italy we can see it on websites, we have the world in the square
all people coming from everywhere can create a big network connecting NY to other countries
San Marco square
> hyperplace
many tourists are connected through technology
many events happen
people can arrive there through different means of transport
Hyperplaces and Overtourism
Overtourism
