The spatial turn in the Humanities and Social Sciences has produced a
considerable body of work which re-assesses space beyond the fixed
Cartesian co-ordinates of Modernity and the nation state. In the
process, space has been revealed as a productively contested concept
with methodological implications across and between disciplines. The
resulting understandings of space as fluid, changeable and responsive
to the situation of bodies, both human and non-human has prepared the
ground for radical concepts and uses of space with implications for
how we conceive of contemporary lived reality. Rather than conceiving
of bodies as constantly rendered docile within the spaces of the
post-industrial nation state, Radical Space reveals how activists and
artists have deployed these theoretical tools to examine and contest
spatial practice.. Bringing together contributions from academics
across the humanities and social sciences together with creative
artists this dynamically multidisciplinary collection demonstrates
this radicalization of space through explorations of environmental
camps, new explorations of psychogeography, creative interventions in
city space and mapping the extra-terrestrial onto the mundane spaces
of everyday existence.
