City: Journey, Map, Argo

Abstract: The paper endeavours to identify three fundamental approaches to the de piction of the urban space. The first is that of the chronicling traveller, for whom the space is always identified with the aid of events and operations which transmute into performative markings. This approach was replaced at the beginning of the modern period by representation in the form of the map. The third approach is Barthes' per ceptions of the city as the Argo and of the urban centre as the place of encounter. Here the urban space is determined through the active participant in play and by his body.
