Re: [xmca] CHAT and space

Bruce, take a look at this one, in which the influence of spatial  
configuration and group size on nature of discourse is discussed.

Dear XMCA,

For a while now I have been interested in theories of space and  
particularly how 'cyberspace' can be theorised in terms of the  
creation of virtual but real spaces (real in the sense that they are  
both the product of and mediate distinct human activities). I've had  
a look at some of the spatial theories such as Lefevbre's 'production  
of space' and Harvey's 'spatial fix'. There are also some writers who  
point to the role of technological mediation in the creation of space.

I was wondering what writing on space there has been in the CHAT  
tradition, both in terms of general theories and on space as  
determinant of and outcome of mediated activity. Perhaps I should  
know the answer to this, but nothing immediately springs to mind.

Thanks.
