Thrift on Space

"Space" in Theory, Culture and Society (2006)

Approaches to 'Space'

1. Everything is spacially distributed and has its own geography.  A sense of 'where things are'.
2. There are no boundaries - spaces are porous.
3. Every space is in constant motion, nothing is static or stable.
4. 'Space' exists in many forms - there is no one kind.

Four more ways of thinking of space:

1. Space as a place where everything comes together; a place of transcendence
2. A place of metrics-measurement-calculation
3. A place separated from movement
4. A place separated from time
