First, translocal assemblages are composites place-based which exchange ideas, knowledge, practices, materials resources across sites. Second, assemblage attempt emphasise more than just connections between Sites have depth notion ‘node’ or ‘point’ suggests – connoted by network terms histories, labour required produce them, inevitable capacity exceed other groups places movement. Third, they not simply category, output, resultant formation, but signify doing, performance events. examine potential alternative account ‘network’, predominant often de facto concept used discussions spatiality draw on examples from one particular based beyond Mumbai campaigns housing informal settlements: Slum/Shack Dwellers International.
