ГЛОБАЛИЗАЦИЈА VS. ФРАГМЕНТАЦИЈА ПРОСТОРА
GLOBALISATION VS. FRAGMENTATION OF SPACE

Summary/Abstract: The author does not argue in the present paper with rival theories; instead he links them in a rhizomatic fashion provoking thereby a cartography of the landscape we are facing while the Cartesian tradition of reduction of complexities to simples is shifting towards the irreducible fold (Deleuze). The virtual and the real is not discernible. Entities isolated in the past are now part and parcel of the hybrid and rhizomatic network expanding and flowing throughout the intensive space. They form the hybrid spatium which includes everything: social networks, media, fora, wars, the national and the supranational, global and local, marginal and trivial. Disseminating itself, it invades social spaces, and finally encompasses the whole horizon. Fluidity (Bauman) is another expression for emptied social spaces and the shift to the societies of control anticipated by Michel Foucault. Through constant reiteration of the difference, the fold shifts to its alternative - envolution.
