night spaces  

Définition(s)

  • The concept of night spaces describes the social production of space within certain spatiotemporal parameters: specifically, the socially mediated dynamics of darkness on the places of human interactions and relationships. Night spaces are evident, for example, in the (attempted) control of socially improper or illegal behaviors in dark places across the cityscape, subversive or criminal acts that contravene the normality of social order; they are also evident in the canalizing of activities into socially acceptable places (e.g., the home or places for the consumption of leisure) and in social movements to “take back the night” from oppressive practices that exclude some, like women, gays, and lesbians, from enjoying the same places as others.
