ABSTRACT
Spatiality, space, and odyssey – the three terms thus not only evoke senses of placement but also movement, such that movement implies changed positionalities with all the attendant implications for how the Real manifests and becomes the theatre for the unfolding of being-in-context or existence-in-context. When conceived of as events of relationing, space and spatiality serve not only as connectors of elements in fields of meaning, space also serves as junction or connector of frameworks for the understanding of connected elements – in fact, the very fact of networks of connections demands networks of perspectives. To adapt an insight from Kanishka Goonewardena, the aesthetics of space, or the affectively ladenness of space that constructs programs of action, is the imperceptible ideology that steers the politicality of existing-in-conceived-space. If space is a relationality that constructs Being and beings, and arises from sets of representations, then this raises the question about authentic spaces.
