A welcome outcome of the recent spatial turn in politics, sociology, and humanities is it is now more possible than ever to encounter spatial analysis from beyond the margins of traditionally ‘spatial’ fields. Such contributions can illuminate the contours of cities and spaces differently. Radical Space: Exploring Politics and Practice is an edited collection (emerging from a multi-disciplinary conference hosted by the Centre for Cultural Studies Research at the University of East London) that does exactly that. Work from spatial disciplines (e.g. geography, architecture) sits alongside contributions from cultural history, media studies, communication, English and philosophy, social anthropology, fine art, dance and theatre, aesthetics, sociology, history, and psychosocial studies. At first glance, it appears the book is organised by scale (Part 1: Art, Public Space and the Body; Part 2: Heterotopias; Part 3: Extraterritorialities), starting with the space of the body and moving outward, but the contributors soon unsettle this assumption. All pieces span spatial scales while retaining a strong link to the embodied.
