To bring space alive
The interview with geographer Doreen Massey focused on how she is trying to bring space alive, to bring emphasis on this topic. Massey explained that space is the dimension of where we live. She said “space is the dimensions of things existing at the same time. Space presents us with that question of the social […]
“being Indian was never about returning to the land. The land is everywhere or nowhere.”
A quote from There There that really stuck with me was “being Indian was never about returning to the land. The land is everywhere or nowhere.” People will make anyplace on Earth home if they have to. Moreover, Native Americans once occupied every part of the land settlers live on now, shore to shore. Historically, […]
What’s the relationship between space and power in There There?
What’s the relationship between space and power in There There? The prevalent phenomenon of gentrification is a clear example of the relationship between space and power. In the novel There There, the author presents this reality through the story of character Dene Oxendene who currently lives in West Oakland CA. As Dene is waiting for […]
What stood out to me
What stood out to me was the concept of what space means, more specifically public space. In New York City there is so much of our urban landscape we as residents rush past, not wanting anyone to speak with us or make eye contact. The nightmare of that crowded subway being jammed in like a […]

While moving through space in an Uber
Reflection on space with moving through Uber. I’ve been an Uber driver for seven years now and the space between clients and me is minimal. I often feel the question of social behavior with space comes with gratitude. Everyone always has something on their mind and when socializing people often start with “How’s your day […]
Space = “dimension of the world in which we all live”
Space = “dimension of the world in which we all live” If history is about time, geography is about space? Time is a dimension. Space is the dimension that presents. Create space in a more meaningful space. Space causes differences and division between people. Genders, Culture, Geography etc. According to my understanding, power and space […]
Space is a dimension
Space is a dimension, in which we can give objects quantifiable positions. The video in which we observed states “If we took space seriously… we could reimagine the world in a different way.” As well as “If history is about time, geography is about space.” I believe these statements not only tie into possible uses […]
“Space cuts through the myriad stories we are living in any one moment”
In the interview, she mentions “Space cuts through the myriad stories we are living in any one moment…space is the dimension of things existing at the same time.” I would say Dene’s story can project this quote. In the situation that his uncle is dying, and he told Dene and his mother that he has […]
Space presents us with the question of the social…
Space presents us with the question of the social…”how are we going to live together”? This question stood out to me, as I feel this is something we as a society still have not figured out how to do. After thousands of years on earth we don’t know how to fully coexist among each other. […]
