Our research draws on contemporary critical theoretical work, with a broadly post-foundationalist perspective. We explore how critical theories interact with and respond to radical politics and protest. The first decades of the twenty-first century saw novel forms of political, artistic and spatial resistance to global order. The populist movements of Southern Europe and Latin America, global protest movements, art activists, migrants who violate territorial borders and slum dwellers who remake global cities all intervene critically to disrupt and improve their worlds. Our researchers develops critical theory as a uniquely interdisciplinary response to contemporary forms of radical, and often apparently marginal, political, artistic and spatial interruptions.
