Henri Lefebvre, Friedrich Nietzsche, the production of spaceAbstract
This article explores the influence of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy on the works of Henri Lefebvre. Although the influence of other authors, such as Hegel and Marx, is recognized by most of the specialized literature, a critical assessment of the Nietzschean heritage on the theories of the French philosopher still requires further elaboration. Some recent works have revealed part of this influence, focusing, in particular, on the similarities in the treatments given by the two philosophers to issues related to the State, Logos, philosophy, art and language. In this work, we intend to explore, by a comparative method, some of the relationships not yet documented in the literature, exposing the centrality of some Nietzschean concepts for the elaboration of the theory of the production of space and the critic of everyday life, such as tragedy, metaphor and metonymy. In the end, it is expected to be demonstrate that part of the centrality attributed to the festival and the body in the works of Henri Lefebvre is tributary of a properly Nietzschean perspective.
