Who decides and who provides? The anarchistic housing practices of John Turner as realizations of Henri Lefebvre's autogestive space

摘要

This paper re-frames the work of participatory development architect John Turner in ud1960s Peru as a practical realisation of the political potential of autogestive space udadvocated in Henri Lefebvre’s post-Marxist discourse. An analysis of the anarchistic udpolitics that underpin Turner’s participatory development reveals a critical intersection of udautogestion and informal space, and subsequently a questioning of the socio-spatial udresonances of anarchist practices and Marxist theories. This analysis is exemplified by udthe critical re-framing of Lefebvre’s much cited proposition of ‘The (Social) Production udof (Social) Space’ against Turner’s anarchist questioning of ‘Who Decides and Who udProvides?’
