POUR UNE GEOGRAPHIE DES ESPACES ANTI-HEROS : AU-DELA DE LA BANALITE DES ESPACES INTERMEDIAIRES

The communication has three objectives: an abstract clarification of the notion of in-between space, a relatively recent notion in geography; an interrogation on the lack of visibility of the in-between spaces, very often considered as commonplace, thus without interest; a reflection on the difficulties of the in-between spaces to build itself on territories, for the benefit of a multi-territoriality. The communication associates the geographical analysis with an approach in terms of stakes in spatial planing. It questions the " new emergent spaces ". It leans on two recent researches, the one led on the territorial construction of the in-between spaces in Rhone-Alps, and the other one on German industrial rural areas in region of borders, as in-between spaces in reorganization.
