Discussion explores the relevance of topology in understanding spatial relations among post-structural thinkers, suggesting a gap in engagement with mathematical concepts.
In response to the article by Unnithan Kumar et al., I ask whether there is an audience for a more mathematically focussed utilisation of topology amongst post-structural thinkers writing on space and spatiality in human geography. While the authors suggest that concepts from topology can be useful for approaching spatial relations in less precise and more multiple ways, human geographers are much more likely to engage with conceptual tools from philosophy and social theory.
