La svolta spaziale nel pensiero giuridico. Un’introduzione

This article highlight the plurality of contemporary thought movements that helped bring out, even within the legal culture, the so-called spatial turn. It is provided under interdisciplinary between law & geography and emerges strongly in the last twenty years, first in the United States and Canada and then more recently in Europe. The contribution of Lefebvre and Foucault were eminent even within juridical spatial turn. They mark a turn for the emancipation of category space from its subordination to time and reveal the ambiguity of the use of space which can subscribe fully between the instruments of domination and governmentality but also represents a material or immaterial re-appropriation tool for individual or collective subject. It will be from the 80s, through the iconoclasm of Critical Legal Studies, that the relationship between space and the right re-surfaces with force in parallel with an evidence of indeterminacy and ambiguity of the law. Since then, several works based on an interdisciplinary approach are published and, more recently, the field of the so-called Critical Legal Geography – a real project of interdisciplinary studies – has been developed.
