How do we interpret the space of the subject? We could define the body (subject) as a boundary between an outside (space) and an inside (space); for now I would refer to the outside as real space and the inside as imaginary space, although this may change. How the subject, the outside and the inside interlink? What happens when the boundary merges, blurs, multiplies? What if the subject fuses with the space? Within the social field subjects relate to each other; different subjectivities have different spaces; if we can say that subjects share an outside space, is there an inside space a group of subjects can share as well?
My intention is not to propose an enclosed model, but a framework for the space of the subject or group of subjects, and to represent this.
When I mention the space of the subject here I don’t refer particularly to the space that has to do with sorts of behaviours socially and culturally formed; I refer to the spaces that we perceive, read, explore, experience, practice, represent, draw, imagine: particularly the architectural space and imaginary space in a socio-cultural context; “…evidence of its [space] existence stares us in the face: our senses and our thoughts apprehend nothing else. “ (Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space: 12)
