Abstract
…the ancient metaphor of the lean and the fat, the eaters and the eaten, still haunts the frame of political discourse. —Frank Lestringant, Cannibals: The Discovery and Representation of the Cannibal from Columbus to Jules Verne Space–my space–is not the context of which I constitute the textuality: instead, it is first of all my body, and then it is my body's counterpart or “other,” its mirror-image or shadow: it is the shifting intersection between that which touches, penetrates, threatens or begets my body on the one hand, all other bodies on the other. —Henri Lefebvre, The Production of Space
