The following assumptions are key: that, ontologically, space is social and real; that spaces are social relations stretched out; and that space is socially produced. 15 SUSAN L. ROBERTSON Epistemologically, space can be known through particular categories of ideas, as ‘perceived’, ‘conceived’ and ‘lived’ (Lefebvre, 1991), or as ‘absolute’, ‘relative’ and ‘relational’ (Harvey, 2006). These two framings will be developed in this chapter. Spaces are dynamic, overlapping and changing, in a shifting geometry of power (Massey, 1994).

Massey’s (2005: 147) relational politics of space is also more in tune with Lefebvre’s, of a framing imagination – like ‘anOther’ – that keeps things more open to negotiation, and that takes fuller account of the ‘constant and conflictual process of the constitution of the social, both human and non-human’ (2005: 147). In Massey’s view (2005: 148), this is not to give ground to the modernist project, of no space and all time, or the postmodern project, of all space and no time, but to argue for configurations of multiple histories, multiple entanglements, multiple geographies, out of which difference is constituted, and where differences count.

On the other hand, many of his gestures have been welcomed by those seeking to renew sociological practices, especially when he looked for regularities and patterns of social discourses that simultaneously accounted for singularities, when he sought to problematize and historicize what we conceive of as “the social,” and when he rejected prescriptive and judicial positions about social events. He intended to “address ‘practices’ as a domain of analysis, approach the study from the angle of ‘what was done’” (Foucault, 2003c: 4).
