''At the outset, I shall make a distinction between space (espace) and place (lieu) that delimits a field.
A place (lieu) is the order (of whatever kind) in accord with which elements are distributed in relationships of coexistence. It thus excludes the possibility of two things being in the same location (place).The law of the ‘proper’ rules in the place: the elements taken into consideration are beside one another, each situated in its own ‘proper’ and distinct location, a location it defines. A place is thus an instantaneous configuration of positions. It implies an indication of stability.A space exists when one takes into consideration vectors of direction,velocities, and time variables. Thus space is composed of intersections of mobile elements. It is in a sense actuated by the ensemble of movements deployed within it. Space occurs as the effect produced by the operations that orient it, situate it, temporalize it, and make it function in a polyvalentunity of conflictual programmes or contractual proximities. On this view, in relation to place, space is like the word when it is spoken, that is when it is caught in the ambiguity of an actualization ... situated as the act of a present(or of a time).''

What Jane Rendell had done here by talking like she's a pedantic robot dictionary is try to explain her ideas of what the difference between 'space' an 'place' is in her opinion. She referrers to 'space' as something natural and where it's meant to be, in its own environment and 'place' as something or 'things' taken from one or multiple environments and made into a final assembly.
In basic terms it seems a 'space' are strawberries picked in a field and eaten there as you pick.
Place is a strawberry milkshake from Tesco's.
