| Sumario: | The article is dedicated to the consideration of Benno Werlen's action-oriented approach in space studies. Avoiding a metaphysical way in space interpretation (as existing irrespective of social dimension), Werlen treats «spatial turn» as transition to the analysis of space in terms of action, that is as social phenomenon. He comes to the conclusion that different types of action (goal-instrumental, norm-oriented, and interpretive ones) correspond to different ways of geography-making (disposition models), and the changes of - dominating in the society - type of action inevitably entails the changes in the constitution of space. Mediatization of contemporary life cannot but influence our spatial practices and place identity, which makes Werlen announce the formation of new geographical consciousness.
