Linked human beings in linked spaces

Résumé En Fr

The paper is dedicated to the relationships of human being(s), space(s), and information and communication technologies concerning the multiple possibilities of their linkage(s). First we will take a glance at the specific meanings of both the spatial and social and technological types of linkages separately. To bring all three networks into contact with each other — to overlap them interdependently — again, enables to emphasise of what will happen topologically. This relational background creates the basis for the main target : To demonstrate how, and how strong current approaches of both the spatial theories and the technological architecture at the one hand and the social sciences at the other hand, are enforced to give up the distinction of human being(s) and space(s) by linking them via different kinds of communications networks. The focus here is on the overcoming distinctions of structure, function and order. The emerging and developing continuous 'Space-Time-Attribute states will be exemplified by using the triangle of core notions of ' smart buildings', telepresence' and ‘acting’ (in different spheres respectively).

L'article suivant examine des résaux sociaux, spatiaux et technologiques en leurs possibilités de jonction multiples. D’abord les réseaux respectifs sont observés séparément. Avec la notion système (en sens système-théorique de Luhmann) une analyse des interactions entre les phénomènes sociaux, spatiaux et technologique est possible. En s'appuyant sur des exemples choisis les rapports entre des personnes réelles/virtuelles' et des espaces ‘réelles/ virtuelles’ sont analysés.
