critical thirding-as-othering

is a strategy of rejecting an imposed binary, deconstructing and disordering it, and forcing it to open to a multiplicity of alternative choices.

At the core of this book, entitled Thirdspace: Journeys to Los Angeles and Other Real-and-Imagined Places, is an argument that I call, for want of a better term, a strategy or methodology of 'critical thirding-as-othering.'' Basically what the strategy suggests is that when faced with a strict binary choice, with an eitherlor option, one should reject the imposed binary, deconstruct and disorder it, and force it open to a multiplicity of alternative choices. (Soja 1996: 1421)
