"Your girl is lovely, Hubble"

From this clip we see how pace and place are used. In the beginning of the scene we see the four main characters having drinks at a prestigious restaurant. The use of space is very important because it lets us know the direct movement of the objects. In every episode of ‘Sex and the City’ the four girls are dining and discussing their relationships and lives and in that sense we can conclude their home is the restaurant in which they are located. According to Seamon who says that home is the product of “physical presence and social rituals”. It is a repetitive occurrence no matter of the place. In each scene the restaurant changes but we can see the well objectified space as home since it includes both factors. The show also breaks some social norms remarked by Massey who suggests that “spaces are symbolically gendered and some spaces are marked by the physical exclusion of particular sexes. And that division is between the ‘home’ and the ‘workplace’ which is articulated as the difference between ‘private’ and ‘public’. Home is seen to be private but this scene of ‘Sex and the City’ we can see that a very public restaurant is in the form of a home and so the social order is disturbed. Also in the grand scheme of the show, Carrie the main character uses her bedroom as a workplace which contradicts with the above statement. In the show space is shown as a revolutionary step towards radical romance. The scene also uses space when she runs into her past lover. The interesting symbol is that it takes place out in the open which corresponds with the idea of private public space suggested by Zukin.
