Focusing on the works of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Ranciere, 'Space, Politics and Aesthetics' reveals the aesthetic premises that underlie their political thinking, and demonstrates how their conceptualisations of politics depend on the construction and apprehension of worlds through spatial forms and distributions.
