Der französische Philosoph und Soziologe Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991) gilt als einer der Vordenker des so genannten spatial turn. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes untersuchen sein Werk aus literaturwissenschaftlicher, historischer, philosophischer, soziologischer und ethnologischer Perspektive mit Blick auf die praktische Anwendbarkeit der Theorien. The articles take a decidedly interdisciplinary look at the opus of the French philosopher, sociologist and pioneer of spatial analysis Henri Lefebvre (1901-1991). His works are reflected upon from theoretical and practical perspectives by authors from various fields (literature, history, philosophy, sociology, ethnology) closely examining text references from Lefebvre.

Dans cette recherche, nous explorerons les idées fondatrices d'Henri Lefebvre sur Le Droit à la 
ville, en nous concentrant particulièrement sur les trois dimensions spatiales qu'il met en avant 
: l'espace perçu, l'espace conçu et, surtout, l'espace vécu. Cette dernière dimension, l'espace 
vécu, fera l'objet d'une attention particulière car elle est centrale dans la compréhension de 
l'expérience quotidienne des citadins, influençant non seulement leur interaction avec 
l'environnement urbain, mais aussi leur sentiment d'appartenance à la ville.
Nous poursuivrons ensuite notre investigation en abordant le concept de méta-urbanisme, une 
approche qui insiste sur la nécessité d'une diversité de perspectives pour la création d'espaces 
urbains. Ici, nous mettrons en lumière l'importance d'inclure, aux côtés des technocrates et des 
urbanistes traditionnels, des poètes, des artistes, et d'autres créateurs culturels. Ces figures 
apportent des sensibilités différentes, enrichissant ainsi le processus de construction de la ville 
par des visions artistiques et culturelles qui dépassent les considérations purement 
fonctionnelles ou techniques.
Cette réflexion nous amènera à reconnaître l'impact crucial des influences artistiques, 
notamment celles issues de genres comme la science-fiction. La pertinence de ce travail se 
traduit par ces imaginaires futuristes qui ne se contentent pas de spéculer sur l'avenir ; ils offrent 
également des visions alternatives de l'organisation spatiale, de la vie urbaine et des dynamiques 
sociales. Ces influences artistiques, en introduisant des éléments d'émerveillement et de 
critique, contribuent à façonner des villes qui ne sont pas seulement des lieux de vie, mais aussi 
des espaces de rêve et de réflexion sur ce que pourrait être la société de demain.

"Focusing on contestation instead of harmony and consensus, Contested Spaces disturbs the idealized space of Canadian multicultural pluralism to carry literary analysis and cultural studies into spaces often undetected and unforeseen; Contested Spaces exposes geographies of exclusion and difference such as flophouses and "slums," shantytowns and urban alleyways, underground spaces and peep shows, inner city urban parks as experienced by minority ethnics, the poor, women, social activists, Indigenous people, and Francophones in Canada. These essays are the product of sustained and high-level collaboration across French and English academic communities in Canada to facilitate theoretical exchange on the topic of space and contestation, to expose geographies of exclusion, and to generate new spaces of hope in the spirit of pioneering work by Henri Lefebvre, Michel Foucault, Michel de Certeau, Doreen Massey, David Harvey, and other more recent theorists of space."-- "This collection explores strategies of reading space and conflict in Canadian and Quebecois literary and cultural performances. How do literary texts and popular cultural performances produce and contest spatial practices? What is the role of the nation, the city, the community, and the individual subject in reproducing space, even during times of global hegemony and neocolonialism? In what ways do marginalized individuals and communities represent, contest, or appropriate spaces through counter-narratives and expressions of culture from below? And how does space itself shape conflict, counter-memory, and culture from below?"--

Rights and the City takes stock of rights struggles and progress in cities by exploring the tensions that exist between different concepts of rights. Sandeep Agrawal and the volume's contributors expose the paradoxes that planners and municipal governments face when attempting not only to combat discriminatory practices, but also advance a human rights agenda. The authors examine the legal, conceptual, and philosophical aspects of rights, including its various forms-human, Indigenous, housing, property rights, and various other forms of rights. Using empirical evidence and examples, they translate the philosophical and legal aspects of rights into more practical terms and applications. Regionally, the book draws on municipalities from across Canada while also making broad international comparisons. Scholars, policy makers, and activists with an interest in urban studies, planning, and law will find much of value throughout this volume. Contributors: Sandeep Agrawal, Rachelle Alterman, Sasha Best, Alexandra Flynn, Eran S. Kaplinsky, Ola P. Malik, Jennifer A. Orange, Michelle L. Oren, Renée Vaugeois. Afterword by Benjamin Davy

Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre's first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment. Although it is widely considered a foundational book in contemporary thinking about the city, The Urban Revolution has never been translated into English - until now. This first English edition, deftly translated by Robert Bononno, makes available to a broad audience Lefebvre's sophisticated insights into the urban dimensions of modern life. Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an inevitable process that demands of its critics new interpretive and perceptual approaches that recognize the urban as a complex field of inquiry. Dismissive of cold, modernist visions of the city, particularly those embodied by rationalist architects and urban planners like Le Corbusier, Lefebvre instead articulates the lived experiences of individual inhabitants of the city. In contrast to the ideology of urbanism and its reliance on commodification and bureaucratization - the capitalist logic of market and state - Lefebvre conceives of an urban utopia characterized by self-determination, individual creativity, and authentic social relationships.
