Mediations & mediators interpose themselves; reasons derived from knowledge, ideology, meaning systems. Means of prod. (spatial arrangement increases productive forces; used like a machine) Object of consumption (space for leisure: consumed) Political instrument (administratively controlled, even policed; hierarchy of space corresponds to that of social classes) Intervention of class struggle (world space; international relations between states, etc. ) Pulverization of space by private property, demand for interchangeable fragments, scientific and technical capacity to treat space.
