The paper offers a further exploration of flat ontology, an account of the world that takes the immanence of localized, material process to be fundamentally different from and ontologically prior to transcendent, structured, and formal treatments
of space. The A. develops the concept of the site via site ontology as an event-space that describes the differential contours and pressures of aggregating and dispersing bodies. The paper's contribution lies in considering how politics and political
potentials are specified by such event-spaces. The A. argues that subjectivity is often suspended where bodies encounter or get enlisted in the unanticipated connections and relations that site ontology describes.

a spatial understanding of ontology as a site revealed around the assemblage of things. Through such post-human understanding of the event, it becomes possible to think spatiality, not just in accordance with the influence Heidegger’s thought could have
on the material understanding of spatiality, but in accordance with the rich understanding we could gain by exploring the politics of finite ontologies, the politics intrinsic for the different happenings of revealing.
This paper scrutinises the possibilities Martin Heidegger’s notion of ‘the event of revealing’ poses for spatial theory. It shows how his work on ‘the event’ and its ‘fourfold’ constitution (between earth, sky, mortals and divinities) affords

The A. considers what it might be to do sustainable management through a case study of the Goulburn River in southern Australia. She attends to sustainable management as ontological work and tells of irrigation water and environmental water
as emergent in particular gathering of practices, technologies, and stories af river management and rural life. Ontological cleaving is performed. The paper contributes to the consideration of how ontological difference is managed and extends recent work

This paper takes issue with conventional mapping and locality-effect accounts of context on the ground that each involves a radical ontological separation of space and society that cannot be sustained. A concept of context-as-place is elaborated
: geographies of affect/emotion and the ontological construction of the human ; children’s and young people’s geographies and the (re)production of social ordering ; and geographies of mobility and transnationalism in a world of increased human spatial movement

Focusing on literature on sociotechnical transitions, ecological modernisation, the ‘green’ cultural economy, and postpolitical governance, this article argues that understanding the functional and spatial heterogeneity of the green economy
necessitates a multitheoretical approach. It then explores how combining branches of research on socioenvironmental governance can lead to theoretically and ontologically richer insights into the drivers, practices, and power relations within the green economy
L'A. essaie d'abord de démêler les complications qui entourent les activités commerciales. Il étudie comment les théories qui rationalisent la doctrine du libre-échange contribuent à isoler le commerce, faisant appel à une ontologie socio-spatiale
