A term of criticism applied to approaches that accord space a separate and substantial reality with its own distinctive powers (cf. spatial separatism): the term has been most forcefully applied to locational analysis and spatial science, in particular their treatment of the so-called frictions of distance as a causal mechanism. Space per se is contentless and only important when given status by human agents, as also occurs with nature. (RJJ)
