本文考察了通过国家主义或后结构透镜观察国家的行动主义的空间后果。有人认为，理解国家以不同的方式产生非常不同的空间战略之间的活动。借鉴在英国的两个寻求庇护的活动家组织的详细案例研究，国家的想象力之间的连接，对制度化的权威的空间战略，以及这些战略的积极性本身的利弊进行检查。通过这些案例，本文强调了关于国家的日常理论的重要性，不仅为了理解国家是什么，而且为了理解与国家的关系是如何形成的，并指出了国家想象本身的建设性力量。
This paper examines the spatial consequences for activism of viewing the state through either a statist or post-structural lens. It is argued that understanding the state in different ways produces very different spatial strategies among activists. Drawing upon detailed case studies of two asylum-seeking activist organisations in the UK, the connections between imaginations of the state, spatial strategies towards institutionalised authority, and the pros and cons of these strategies for activism itself are examined. Through these cases, the paper emphasises the importance of everyday theories about the state not only for understanding what the state is, but also for understanding how relationships with the state are formed and points towards the constructive power of imaginations of the state in their own right.
