Territory and Translocality: Discrepant Idioms of Political Identity

Abstract

This article argues that international political theory requires better ways of thinking about the formation of transnational (or, as it is suggested, translocal) political identities in the wake of changing configurations of territory/political space. More specifically it identifies discrepant forms of political practice-typified by transnational communities, borderzone identities, and spiritualist movements-whose political practices problematise the dominant statist assumption of equivalence between territorial situatedness and political identity.
