Following the critique of spatial science in some places (the UK in particular), ascendant humanist approaches began to inform a more sensitive reading of space. Relative space in particular was emphasized as the human perception of place was explored. Instead of considering how space could be measured and how society could be read off from this, it asked: How does space construct society? This is to say that the relationship between society and space was conceptualized as a two-way flow or co-determinist. Approaches in the 1980s included work on gendered spaces, racialized spaces and spaces of poverty, for example. In the 1990s postmodern approaches informed a more explicit engagement with metaphorical space, especially in the form of Third Space (Soja, 1996). In this construct, identities which are increasingly hybrid adopt marginal spaces as locations from which to challenge the dominant groups in society – cyberspaces being one such ‘liberating’ space (See Hillis, 1999).
