Sluice Magazine - Territory: contested, augmented and virtual

  • Christian Küsters

In this edition of Sluice we look at the point of formation, the location where territory is forged, wrestled into existence, contested and resisted. Territory refers to possession, conflict and control, it speaks of history and consequences. Territory is managed space; marked for development or protected or exploited for raw materials, used to displace or contain, it is socially constructed. The production of territory is the institutionalisation of space to achieve control. Territory manifests a slow trans-generational violence. Extract from the Editorial by Karl England.
