- Abstract
The concept of place has multiple meanings. This is clear when reviewing the different meanings of the term in Spanish, including those that refer to a physical, imaginary or abstract space (space, site, territory); those that evoke the notion of time (occasion, moment, opportunity); or those colloquial expressions that refer to experience ("me in your place"). Place has multiple meanings derived from the different disciplines and theories that use the term as their 'object of inquiry'; philosophy, geography, architecture and urbanism provide different ways of understanding the term, giving account of the various angles that it possess. Each discipline collaborates to the vision of place due to the concrete dynamics that it assumes in the academic and professional practice. In addition, the term has experienced an historical evolution of important transformations driven by the rise of the enlightenment and the influence of the existentialist philosophy during the first half of the twentieth century. It is possible to declare that the notion of place is being built as a collage where we can discover different focuses and tensions that vary depending on the point of view of a particular time or discipline.
