| Summary: | Space is always situated in time, and time defines space. Therefore, in contemporary global geopolitical time one could perhaps define space as contested space. European space is contested, NATO is contested, the world is being reconfigured into new spaces and blocs (for example BRICS). We are living in a time of postand decolonial thought, which is trying to redefine space or create space for alternatively defined and identified bodies and bodies of knowledge. Timespaces are filled with bodies, and they give to those bodies an identity and place. On the other hand, bodies carry out timespaces and thereby, in a sense create, such timespaces as a place or rather a home of and for these bodies, or else the place serves as a place of exclusion and marginalisation. One could say that there is a close connection between bodies and spaces and the consequent identity politics of those spaces, as they become places of either belonging or of notbelonging and exclusion. |
