2.5A Spaces and Digital Society

Space as a Concept

Space = how humans organise, construct, and represent the environments where life happens, and how digital systems reshape them. It means more than a map: where interactions occur and who can reach them.
Castells (1996), space of flows: in a networked society what matters is less the fixed place you sit in than the flows of information, money, and people moving through digital networks.
Digital systems reshape space in three ways: organise activity (where work, shopping, friendship happen), construct places (a game world or group chat is built, not found), and represent space (a map app decides how a city looks). Runs across scales, from a room to the planet to virtual worlds.
Anchoring question: do physical and political borders still matter? Evidence supports both a yes and a no.

Analogy

Analogy

The old view of space is a printed map, everything fixed in place.
The space of flows is a live transport map, defined by what is moving and how fast. Connection can matter more than location.

Physical, Virtual, and Hybrid Spaces

Three kinds: physical (geographic, embodied), virtual (apps, feeds, games, worlds), and hybrid (the blend).
Different rules: physical space is bound by the body (one place at a time, presence carries rights like standing in a public square); virtual space is territory with borders, rules, and gatekeepers set by the owner. A person may have influence in one space and none in another.
Hybrid space is where most people now live: walking a street while following a phone map, ordering online to collect in store, joining a class that meets in person and on video. The online/offline line has largely dissolved.
