It is a product literally filled with ideologies. Space has been shaped and molded from historical and natural elements, but this has been a political process.

Can post-mining territories become landscapes in motionA Spatial Strategy to Build a (Landscape) Reputation for a Neglected Area in Tuscany, Italy. If space has an air of neutrality and indifference with regard to its contents and thus seems to be “purely” formal, the epitome of rational abstraction, it is precisely because it has been occupied and used, and has already been the focus of past processes whose traces are not always evident on the landscape. theory-conceptual grammar of the field dialectic must be continually reviewed. Space is not a scientific object removed from ideology and politics it has always been political and strategic. The spatial problematic is not a substitute for class analysis but it can be an integral and increasingly salient element in class consciousness and class struggle within contemporary capitalism. Building upon the works of Henri Lefebvre, Ernest Mandel, and others, a general spatial problematic is identified and discussed within the context of both urban and regional political economy. The concept of a socio-spatial dialectic is introduced as a means of reopening the debate and calling for the explicit incorporation of the social production of space in Marxist analysis as something more than an epiphenomenon.
ABSTRACT An increasingly rigidifying orthodoxy has begun to emerge within Marxist spatial analysis that threatens to choke off the development of a critical theory of space in its infancy. Socio-spatial theory: Space, Social Relations, Difference.
