is conceived not as dark, empty outer space as we might think, but rather it is that deeply social dimension of the world in which we live.

Hearing space alone I immediately picture outer space, black with stars at a distance. When using it in a sentence, I right away picture it as a spot of land, or whatever, in a specific location. Massey defines space as pretty much the exact opposite of that, and she explains why as well. Her exact words for space were, 'it is space as that dimension of the world in which we live.' Also, the way in which things are organized and arranged can be a short description on what that means exactly. ' (net) https://jgallegosblog.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/discussion-from-massey/

is the dimension of multiplicity of the more-than-one . It is a plurality of positionalities.

Doreen Massey defines space as the 'dimension of multiplicity, of the more-than-one a plurality of positionalities' (2004, 14-5).

the simultaneous coexistence of social interrelations and interactions at all spatial scales, from the most local to the most global.' . . space is created out of the vast intricacies, the incredible complexities, of the interlocking and the noninterlocking, and the networks of relations at every scale from local to global. What makes a particular view of these social relations specifically spatial is their simultaneity.' (Massey, space, place and gender, 265

is the sphere of relations and encounters.

Doreen Massey defines space as a condition, 'the sphere of the possibility of the existence of multiplicity,' and an outcome, 'a product of relations between always in the process of being made'.4 The town square is a product of its central location in town, the traffic that moves through it, the events that happen in it, the way people talk about it, and the way it is measured and mapped. Spaces are constituted through interactions. At the same time, space is the sphere of coexisting heterogeneity. It is more than the sum of its parts, in a sense, because it establishes the potential for different things to happen that are not already part of it. The square gives events greater attention, a capacity for a greater crowd, and a central location from which to come and go. ' Doreen Massey, For Space (London, UK: SAGE, 2005), 9.
