Individuals have multiple cultural identities: religion, nationality, language, class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality. Cultural identities are context-dependent: rise & fall in importance depending on the place (social & spatial setting) Space takes on the identities of its occupants (e. g. cultural landscapes based on identities) How space is used, organized, arranged & ascribed. The ability to influence, if not determine, how people act (directly or indirectly) The capacity of some persons to produce intended & foreseen effects on others. Exercising power: subtle to direct, convert to overt, gentle to violent, convincing to threatening. Spatial strategies of exercising power: exclude (people or groups, or certain cultural identities, include (can allow people to express their religion in your country, contain (spatially contain a group or thing, expel. Since cultural landscapes are expression of cultural identities, & people is necessarily involved, landscapes & identities are sites of struggle".
