	Radical Philosophy - Obituaries/Profiles - Spring 1992
		Lefebvre joined the French Communist Party in 1928 and for most of the next thirty years he toed the political line, in return for which, he secured a margin of tolerance for his rather heterodox interpretation of Marxism, which sat uncomfortably with the stalinisme ordinaire of the French Communist Party (PCF).
		Lefebvre's great energy and erudition were largely responsible for popularising the early writings of Marx, some of which he translated into French in 1933, and which served to focus Lefebvre's own humanist interpretation of Marx.
		Lefebvre became one of the foremost opponents of the structuralo-marxists.

		Henri Lefebvre is famous for having written many introductions to and edited a number of anthologies of the writings of Hegel, Marx and Lenin.
		For Lefebvre, dialectics and the study of alienation were not to be limited to the sphere of economics, but were to be extended to the whole of social life.
		Lefebvre advocated alternative and revolutionary restructurations of institutionalised discourses of space and new modes of spatial praxis ("differential space"), such as that by squatters or Third World slum dwellers, who fashion a spatial presence and practice outside of the norms of the prevailing enforced capitalist spatialisation ("abstract space").

	Henri Lefebvre
		Henri Lefebvre, the most prolific of French Marxist intellectuals, was born in 1901.
		Lefebvre's great energy and erudition were largely responsible for popularising the early writings of Karl Marx, some of which he translated into French in 1933, and which served to focus Lefebvre's own humanist interpretation of Karl Marx.
		Lefebvre affirmed the superiority of Friedrich Hegel's dialectic over formal logic, based on the dialectic's attempt to achieve a synthesis of the concept and its content, and therefore a synthesis of thought and being.

		Lefebvre's form as much as his content speaks to the energizing effects a certain disorder can bring in keeping intellectual work from dogmatic closure and in destabilizing systemic projects (like structuralism or central planning) which require order, in the form of flattening difference, to function.
		Lefebvre's continuous reworking and re-presentation of material opens up a space of disorder within his work which is perhaps meant to mirror the spatial chaos "engendered by capitalism" (63).
		Lefebvre's critical reassertion of space as central to understanding and critiquing modern culture and the culture industry invokes a certain disorder in its formal manipulation of ideas, such that it demands readers confront that disorder.

		While Henri Lefebvre is sometimes considered obsolete in some contemporary French academic circles, he remains a shining star and a source of inspiration around the world, particularly in the Americas and Europe.
		Alienation, for Lefebvre is a concept referring to the embodied and the alien, the foreign and the distant.
		The chapter on Lefebvre’s breakthrough in dialectical thinking is preceded by an interlude on his intellectual relations in the postwar years, again with some repetition.

		Lefebvre suggests that this expression is better than "technological environment", "since technology only produces an 'environment' in the city and by the city; outside the city technology produces isolated objects: a rocket, a radar station".
		[11] Lefebvre's understanding of the rural and urban together rather than in isolation is one of his key points: the over-emphasis on the urban is one of his criticisms of the Situationists;[12] whilst the neglect of the problems of urbanisation is seen as a fault with Marcuse.
		Lefebvre suggests that in the past there were shortages of bread, and never a shortage of space, but that now corn is plentiful (at least in the developed world), whilst space is in short supply: "The overcrowding of highly industrialised countries is especially pronounced in the larger towns and cities".

	Situationist International Online
		The situationist formula "the Commune was the greatest festival of the 19th Century," was adapted as the central idea of this "investigation" into a "total history" (but, of course, without the slightest awareness of the theoretical renewal whose foundations it laid); and was immediately celebrated by 75% of the critics.
		.' Lefebvre does not give in to utopian literature: with his attention to the detail of the day to day facts of Paris in 1871 — often seen as less 'historical' — he concludes that the 'festive style' is 'the style proper to the Commune.' The phrase is not forced.
		Like the famous Fantômas — where each chapter was written by a different author — Lefebvre's historical monument is composed with the same hypnogogic negligence, a cloak and dagger novel culminating in the stupefying idea that Marx visited the Commune in order to be a purely theoretical partisan of the destruction of the state.

		In particular the work of Henri Lefebvre, and of urban geographers such as David Harvey and Edward Soja who have drawn heavily on Lefebvre, has postulated that space is part of a dialectical process between itself and human agency; rather than an a priori entity space is produced by, and productive of, social-being.
		From a spatial perspective, Lefebvre held that the 'abstract space' of early modernism had been superseded by a new 'contradictory space', in which modernist urban zoning, the high-rise, and the 'new town' had fragmented the experience of everyday life into an experience of functionally programmed divisions such as work/leisure, rural/urban, and private/public (Lefebvre, 1991: 292-351).
		For Lefebvre, as for many of the French authors marked by the experience of May 1968, that 'celebration' and ludic 'eruption' of intensity and desire marks the type of rupture that could convert a dominated 'leisure spatialisation' into focused resistance and revolt through a sudden respatialisation.

		Henri Lefebvre, who died last year at an age between 86 to 89 (the records aren't clear), was perhaps the greatest Marxian thinker since Marx, and certainly one of the greatest philosophers of our time.
		Lefebvre introduces his approach into Marxian political economy, and at this point he reaches the core of his theory: All Marxist concepts are taken to a higher level without any one stage in theory disappearing.
		Lefebvre would not be a critical theorist if he did not leave us with a liberatory position that we could adopt after his extended philosophical discussion.

	The Urban Revolution
		Originally published in 1970, The Urban Revolution marked Henri Lefebvre's first sustained critique of urban society, a work in which he pioneered the use of semiotic, structuralist, and poststructuralist methodologies in analyzing the development of the urban environment.
		Lefebvre begins with the premise that the total urbanization of society is an inevitable process that demands of its critics new interpretive and perceptual approaches that recognize the urban as a complex field of inquiry.
		The first English translation of Henri Lefebvre’s critique of urban life simmers with the student revolts of 1968 Paris and with the genuine conviction that the forces behind that unrest could still change cities as we now them.

	THE BROOKLYN RAIL - EXPRESS
		Lefebvre was a rare and necessary breed, a utopian intellectual engagé, somebody who moved with the times yet helped shape and defy those times, interpreting the world at the same time as he somehow changed it.
		Inside Lefebvre’s body and mind lay a complex dialectic of particularity and generality, of Eros and Logos, of place and space; he was a Catholic country boy who’d roamed Pyrenean meadows, a sophisticated Parisian philosopher who’d discoursed on Nietzsche and the death of God.
		Lefebvre’s letters from this period are shadowed by a pessimism of impending doom that has a familiar ring about it: “a funk prevents the people from thinking and living,” he wrote in October of 1935; “The moment of catastrophe approaches,” he said in another communiqué a few months later.

		For example, Lefebvre speaks of the "moment of love." From the point of view of the creation of moments, from the situationist point of view, one must envisage the moment of a particular love, of the love of a particular person.
		In comparison to Henri Lefebvre's moment, this series of situations is particularized and unrepeateable, yet greatly extended and relatively durable in comparison to the unique-ephemeral instant.
		In analyzing the "moment," Lefebvre has revealed many of the fundamental conditions of the new field of action across which a revolutionary culture may now proceed: as when he remarks that the moment tends toward the absolute and departs from it.

		Lefebvre's disavowal, I will suggest, is put into practice by the Situationists (who, for a while, became the praxis of Lefebvrian theory), in their rarely acknowledged resistance to the surreal contemplation of the city as a Bretonian collection of fetishized sites and their recovery of the city as a temporal site for a Lukcsean totality.
		The fact that Lefebvre refused to specify what kind of "work of art," "oeuvre," is enacted in the city and the everyday as the focus of a political praxis can be accounted for by considering the violent attacks realism suffered in France after the advent of the nouveau roman (notably in Robbe-Grillet's manifesto).
		The eve ryday is, for Lefebvre, neither philosophical nor non-philosophical but rather the outcome of a dialectical tension between the two.

		Henri Lefebvre's long life came to an end in 1991, so it is somewhat perverse that only in the 1990s have key works been translated into English, and long out-of-print books reissued in France.
		It was suggested that Lefebvre's theoretical complexity and political engagements are in danger of being neglected in these analyses.
		Lefebvre's idea of autogestion [literally self-management] which has a sense of being a form of radical democracy, moving beyond mere `representation' and not state focussed, that is a return of power to local communities, may be a productive way forward.

		It was a tidal wave which became swollen with the ideological flotsam and jetsam it swept up in its path, and before finally dying away it had changed the way the world was perceived, and even ways of loving and satisfying the senses.

		This is used to establish a theoretical framework for the study of the spatial dimensions of law.

		Lefebvre was undoubtedly influenced by the revolutionary socio-political movements of his time, and particularly by the student movement in Paris, known as Mai 68.
		What is still relevant for today’s cities is Lefebvre’s belief that the decision-making processes in cities should be reframed so that ALL urban dwellers have a right to participate in urban politics and to be included in the decisions which shape their environment.
		Lefebvre was also careful distinguish between citoyens (“citizens”) and citadins (“urban inhabitants”), explaining that those who inhabit the city have a right to the city, regardless of their legal, national status as citizens.

	Jouvert: Lost in Space
		Indeed, as Lefebvre demands: "To recognise space, to recognise what 'takes place' there and what it is used for, is to resume the dialectic; analysis will reveal the contradictions of space" (Lefebvre 1976: 17).
		Lefebvre's subtle reformulation is of the utmost relevance to contemporary cultural criticism: here he is positing that the production and reproduction of social space exists in dialectical relationship with the material base.
		The answer is the inevitably circular logic foreseen by Lefebvre, which Bhabha attempts to enable at one point by conflating Lacan and Toni Morrison: "Lacan calls this kind of inside/out/outside/in space a moment of extremité: a traumatic moment of the 'not there' or the indeterminate or the unknowable" (Bhabha 1994: 206).
