摘要:Although Spatial Citizenship is rooted deeply in critical theories and is based on ideas ofreflexivity, the link to Critical Thinking has not been systematically developed yet. Nevertheless,intersections of both concepts are considered likely due to the closeness of the semanticfields around them. Identifying such overlaps is expected to significantly contributeto advancing the theoretical depth of Spatial Citizenship. Additionally, Critical Thinking –an influential and field-tested approach – may provide valuable insights, particularly withregard to the practical application of the notion of Spatial Citizenship in educational environments.This paper draws on previous research conducted at the CIDTFF (University ofAveiro) and within the framework of the EU-funded SPACIT project. The paper seeks (i) toidentify theoretical/conceptual overlaps between both concepts and (ii) to distil keyelements of Critical Thinking theory that can usefully complement the concept of SpatialCitizenship and associated educational approaches. The analysis rests on a content analysisof selected journal papers. The resulting intersection framework confirms the closeness ofthe two concepts, yet also highlights the divergent theoretical and normative foundations.
