space / place

A place is the order of whatever kind.

Elements are beside one other, each situated in its own distinctive location.

A place is thus an instantaneous configuration of 

positions and implies indication of stability.

A space exists when one takes into consideration 

vectors of direction, velocities and time variables.

Space is composed of intersections of mobile elements, 

it occurs as the effect produced by the operations that orient it.

A place is determined through objects, that are ultimately reducible 

to the being-there of something dead, the law of a place.

 A Space is determined through operations which specify 

spaces by the actions of historical subjects.

 

 

In short, space is a practiced place,

Going means spatializing actions.

Seeing means the knowledge of an order.

An act of reading is the space produced by 

the practice of a particular place: a written text.

This differentiation, between space and place, was carried out by
Michel de Certeau in his book "The Practice  of  Everyday Life"
(L'Invention du Quotidien. Vol. 1, Arts de Faire)
