Early structuralism
Gaston Bachelard:
'The space in which one looks, in which one examines is
philosophically very different from the space in which one sees.'
This is because the space in which one sees is always a represented
space, and not a real space.
Mikhail Bakhtin:
Inspired by Einstein's theory of relativity, Bakhtin defines the
chronotope as the 'intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial
relationships in literature.'
Georges Canguilhem:
[...] human being are 'normative' beings, not because they conform to
norms, but because they are norm-creating beings, or open systems
dependent on their environment.
[...] Disease - the obstacle - is the necessary stimulus for the
norm-making necessary for health.
