  “The spatial” then, it is argued here, can be seen as constructed out of the multiplicity of social relations across all spatial scales, from the global reach of finance and telecommunications, through the geography of the tentacles of national political power, to the social relations within the town, the settlement, the household and the workplace. It is a way of thinking in terms of the ever-shifting geometry of social/power relations, and it forces into view the real multiplicities of space-time. It is a view of space opposed to that which sees it as a flat, immobilized surface, as stasis even as no more than threatening chaos-the opposite of stasis- which is to see space as the opposite of History, and as the(consequently)de politicized.

  The issue here is not the relative priority of the temporal and the spatial, but their definitions. For it is through this logic, and its association of ideas with temporality and spatiality, that Laclau arrives at the depoliticization of space.

And temporality must be conceived as the exact opposite of space. The "spatialization" of an event consists of eliminating its temporality".

  The argument is that the need for the security of boundaries, the requirement for such a defensive and counter-positional definition of identity, is culturally masculine. Moreover, many feminists have argued against such ways of thinking, such definitions of identity. The argument is that we need to have the courage to abandon such defensive – yet designed for dominance – means of definition. Many feminists have argued for “thinking in terms of relations”.
