This article addresses the consequences of the methodological approach of the “spatial turn”, whose “object” of research is the dispersion of atomic elements on a discursive surface. The theory of discourse developed by Mikhail Bakhtin and Michel Foucault is one of the centers of this methodological field. The research focused on spatial relations – in real spaces and in the spatialization of conceptual dispersions – brought about important insights; however, upon a closer look its limitations appear as well. Using the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce, the article asks whether the research on space and spatiality is a key to solving the diverse questions in the humanities and social sciences, or is the next “turn” already in view. In the second part, the article presents a model of artistic research on the problem of spatiality in the context of the changes brought about by the development of electronic and digital information technologies.References
