Chora (χώρα) "country", "the space lying between two places or limits" or "an empty expanse"
.
Khora - Plato in Timaeus - [receptacle, space, interval.] It is neither being nor nonbeing but an interval between in which the "forms" were originally held ; "gives space" and has maternal overtones (a womb, matrix).
.
Anticipate the emancipatory employment of semiotic activity as a way of evading the allegedly phallocentric character of symbolic activity (signification through language), which, following Lacan, is regarded as an inherently limiting and oppressive form of praxis.
.
Heidegger: "clearing" in which being happens or takes place
.
John Caputo: Neither present nor absent, active or passive, the good nor evil, living nor nonliving - but rather atheological and nonhuman - khôra is not even a receptacle. Khôra has no meaning or essence, no identity to fall back upon. She/it receives all without becoming anything, which is why she/it can become the subject of neither a philosopheme nor mytheme. In short, the khôra is tout autre [fully other]
