Conceptualizing Third Space in Networked Social Media

摘要

Third space is thinking differently of space beyond the insufficiency of dualism, as in mental and physical space, dismissing the 'either/or' manner of binary categorizing to encompass 'both/and also' logic. The online social networking is the new space of connectivity and interactions. This paper is an attempt to establish briefly the epistemologies of the 'in between' space and its dynamisms by positioning the modern networked social media within the discourse of Third space.
