structure, the Other[edit]

@Peaceful: I've linked "other" in

Third Space Theory suggests that policies of remediation based in models of the other are likely to be inadequate.

to Other and capitalized it, but I'm not 100% certain that that's what was meant. As you seem to be the author of most of the article, would you please take a look?

I also broke up the "wider use" section into short paragraphs for the different areas of application, as best I could.

@Thnidu: That looks good. Thank you. And yes, the link to Other is appropriate, although a little more formal than I was using the term. I think it is right. George (talk) 22:20, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Peaceful: Thanks for confirming that. It's always good to know when I got something right. :-) --Thnidu (talk) 01:08, 2 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Rpacker: Nice additions to the article George (talk) 14:27, 11 November 2014 (UTC) @Rpacker: I am interested in expanding the "explanatory and predictive" section. Looks like you are working in this space. In the academic game explanation is useful. For me it is (too) largely intuitive and interpretive. Is is appropriate to think of Third Space Theory as having more productive utility? George (talk) 14:37, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In discourse of dissent, the Third Space has come to have two interpretations:

   that space where the oppressed plot their liberation: the whispering corners of the tavern or the bazaar
   that space where oppressed and oppressor are able to come together, free (maybe only momentarily) of oppression itself, embodied in their particularity.[6]

What is the "discourse of dissent"? From what scholarly traditions does this draw? Also, the citation for these two ideas (are they quotes, paraphrases?) lists the page number as "nnn" in The Location of Culture, and I have searched that book for these phrases and they do not exist.G3rrity (talk) 01:28, 21 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@G3rrity: The scholarly tradition is set out here: ^[1]

The "discourse of dissent" might be labelled "postcolonial theory", but that has definitional problems as well. I am sure I was not the first to use the phrase "whispering corners of the tavern". It may refer to Thomas Paine possibly by Burke. Search on Google turns up something else by me. Sorry.
