Abstract
The translation and publication of Henri Lefebvre’s The Production of Space signals an important turning point in urban sociology (Lefebvre 1992; although first published in 1974, Lefebvre’s work would not become known to most English-speaking sociologists until the 1990s). While geographers would claim that “Lefebvre’s project is aimed at a reorientation of human inquiry away from its traditional obsession with time and toward a reconstituted focus on space” (Dear 1997: 49), this view neglects Lefebvre’s larger body of work and, more directly, does not take into account his earlier writings on historical materialism and political economy (Lefebvre 1940) and his continuing reference to the work of Nietzsche and Heidegger (Lefebvre 1975).
Professor of Sociology, Public and Environmental Affairs.
