      abstract = {Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space offers a  rigorous analysis and revival of Lefebvres works and the  context in which he produced them. Biagi traces the  historical-critical time-frame of Lefebvre's intellectual  investigations, bringing to light a theoretical  constellation in which historical methods intersect with  philosophical and sociological issues: from Marxist  political philosophy to the birth of urban sociology; from  rural studies to urban and everyday life studies in the  context of capitalism. Examining Lefebvres extended  investigations into the urban sphere as well as  highlighting his goal of developing a "general political  theory of space" and of innovating Marxist thought, and  clarifying the various (more or less accurate) meanings  attributed to Lefebvre's concept of the "right to the city"  (analysed in the context of the French and international  sociological and philosophical-political debate), Henri  Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space ultimately brings the  contours of Lefebvres innovative perspective--itself  developed at the end of the "short twentieth century"--back  into view in all its richness and complexity. Francesco  Biagi is a PhD Researcher in Political and Social Sciences  at the University of Pisa, Italy, and collaborates with the  research group GESTUAL (Group of Socio-Territorial, Urban  and Local Action Studies) at the Faculty of Architecture of  Lisbon, Portugal. He is rediscovering Henri Lefebvres  thought in order to understand the current neoliberal urban  questions.},
