Autogestion and ecological politics in the work of Henri Lefebvre

“…As Napoletano et al identify, this approach to the dialectic is carried through into Lefebvre's later writings on everyday life, the production of space, and rhythm analysis, and his longstanding concern with the dialectical relationship between non-human nature and social life is crucial for understanding how his thought can contribute to contemporary ecological politics. This attention to the continuity of themes throughout Lefebvre's writing echoes a dominant approach taken within much of the secondary literature on his work during the last three decades (Butler, 2012;Elden, 2004;Merrifield, 2006;Shields, 1999;Stanek, 2011).

These three spaces, and in particular the designed and perceived spaces we are most interested in here, are in reality one and the same (Martin, 2006).…”
