David Harvey's Theoretical Study On Spatial Turnin

David Harvey is a British geographer,urban research expert and Marxist theorist.His spatial turn theory is an important part of his research field.Harvey emphasized in his works that space and social relations are inseparable,and the transformation of space and time is a necessary condition for social production and capitalist accumulation.Harvey’s spatial turn theory is his "reinterpretation" and "reconstruction" of Marxism,attempting to re-examine the basic concepts and theoretical framework of Marxism and apply it to the analysis of contemporary society and political economy.Harvey believes that the spatial organization and strategy of capitalist economy and social life have a significant impact on the development and changes of economy and social life.In Harvey’s view,the spatialization of capitalism is one of the key factors for its successful development.Harvey’s spatial turn theory explores the spatial organization and strategy of capitalism at different historical stages,with a focus on the relationship between urbanization and globalization.In Harvey’s view,the spatialization of capitalism is a dynamic and constantly changing process.Harvey’s spatial turn theory emphasizes that the spatiality of capitalism has become increasingly important in contemporary society and the process of globalization.Harvey’s spatial turn theory also proposed some important concepts and theories,such as "the production of space" and "spatial friction".In Harvey’s view,the production of space is an important aspect of capitalist productivity.It is not only the foundation of economic activities,but also an important component of social relations and political power.The friction of space emphasizes the conflicts and contradictions between different spatial elements,such as the confrontation between different social groups in cities,or the competition and contradictions between different countries in the process of globalization.In general,David Harvey’s space turn theory provides a new perspective to understand the development and change of capitalist economy and social life.In practice,we need to combine specific historical and social backgrounds,as well as the actual situation of contemporary society and globalization processes,to deeply study the production methods of space and the spatial control of capitalism,and explore how to achieve social change and development through the transformation of space.
