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.
