Concerning the Spatial Turn

Stipe Grgas ; University of Zagreb, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

In the article the author discusses two recently published collections of essays devoted to what is today designated as the “spatial turn”. After addressing the key questions that preoccupy the contributions collected in these publications, the author uses the occasion to point to the problematic omission of the German tradition of thinking space from the dominant theoretical paradigms which have emerged from the above mentioned spatial turn. At the end of the article the author offers a number of observations relating to the reasons for the elision of the spatial problematic in Croatian theoretical production.
