ABSTRACT

This chapter examines everyday resistance as spatially organized and how everyday resistance is practiced in and through space as a central social dimension. Space is seen as central in any exercise of power, as well as of resistance. Several types of sites are recognized as both sites of power as well as of resistance, such as cyberspace and the body. The concept of “third space” is introduced as a valuable tool to use in the understanding and analysis of everyday resistance, however with certain weaknesses that need to be attended to. In the final section of the chapter, “queer space” is highlighted and discussed as an alternative space that disrupts and contests the dominant heteronormative space.
