"Social space is produced and structured
by conflicts. With this recognition, a democratic spatial politics begins.…..The
political sphere is not only a site of discourse; it is also a discursively
constructed site. From the standpoint of a radical democracy, politics
cannot be reduced to something that happens inside the limits of a public
space or political community that is simply accepted as 'real'. Politics,
as Chantal Mouffe writes, is about the constitution of the political community.
It is about the spatializing operations that produce a space of politics.
