As part of the International Symposium “Forms of Power: Spaces, Names, Crisis,” Félix Duque Pajuelo, from the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), presents his paper entitled “Space Is No Longer What It Used to Be.” In this presentation, Duque Pajuelo reflects on how the perception and use of space have changed in contemporary times, exploring the radical transformations that have affected our relationship with physical and symbolic space within a context of social and political change.

This international symposium is dedicated to reflecting on the multiple facets of power and its representation through various thematic panels:

The Names of Power: What names have been given to power? Are there powers that remain unnamed, beyond control and visibility? The Spaces of Power: How does power appropriate and dominate spaces? Is control of space the key to consolidating power? The Crises of Power: What is the relationship between power and revolution? How does power impact women, and how do they negotiate their relationship with it?

In his presentation, Duque Pajuelo delves into how technological, social, and political changes have irreversibly altered the concept of space, proposing new ways of understanding and occupying territories in the contemporary era.
