well, the idea there is that a notion can posture as specifically legitimate due to controlling--or appearing to control--space.

and posturing as specifically legitimate does the work of delegitimizing alternatives--which is a fancy way of saying, establishing a hierarchy of standards. which is a fancy way of saying, dictating style. and then alienating those who don't conform--because the appearance of controlling space establishes lines of who's-in and who's-out.

all of which is a fancy way of saying "i studied sociology and all i got was this over-active deconstructing thought process."
