Résumé
Kept out of the French/Spanish cooperation, the Catalan cross-border space hosts many changes. The creation of a eurodistrict intends to make easier the emergence of a new cross-border local space in a region known for its dissemmetry. Based on the analysis of rhetoric and representations, this paper investigates the imaging values of this cross-border local space as a “spatial metaphor”, prior to the institution of new systems of references and new modes of territorial projections for public policies.
