“…Bekoff and Pierce 2009). On the other hand, as Roberto Esposito (2021) has argued, a danger lurks here, of failing to differentiate “instituting thought”, or else institutionalisation , as the distinct political moment mediating forms of territorialisation that involve human beings. Institutionalisation, indeed, is so essential that justice can be considered an attribute of institutions, making spatial justice a “shorthand expression” that denotes “desirable or undesirable spatial situations and arrangements occurring within a certain (just or unjust) institutional framework” (Moroni 2016:256).…”

This article focuses on the concept of “spatial justice” and argues for its analytical significance in a critical comprehension of a series of phenomena, from processes of neoliberalisation, socio‐geographic composition and the production of urban space to how space and justice are conceived. Being an expression of social theory’s spatial turn, the concept has served to enrich apperceptions of social justice. Nonetheless, the article adopts the contention that neither the concept’s more disturbing implications nor its radical potential have been fully attended. After contextualising the relevant theoretical problematic through an analysis of neoliberal urbanism, this radical potency is foregrounded by a Deleuzian‐inspired conceptualisation, which conceives spatial justice as a contentious process of territorialising and deterritorialising assemblages that operate and unfold diagrammatically. This conceptualisation, it will be argued, allows theory to move beyond the distributive paradigm and its anthropocentric bias, which continue to prevail in the relevant theoretical and political discourses.

Overcoming the apocalypse in the pluralistic space of poetics and politics

In the shift toward the Early Modern era, the end-centric temporality of the Middle Ages underwent a critical reevaluation, which spawned four distinct historical paradigms in the interplay between eschatology and politics. This article delineates these paradigms as follows: the revolutionary, where political constructs undergo a metamorphosis toward the eschatological, culminating in their complete dissolution within it; the progressive, in which political elements evolve in the direction of eschatological thought while retaining their distinct existence; the conservative, where political structures act to curtail the influence of eschatological expectations; and the post-apocalyptic, wherein both political and eschatological spheres merge into the economic, exemplifying the cultural logic of late capitalism. Utilizing process tracing as a methodological tool within the framework of critical realism, the study investigates the dynamic processes through which societies confront and potentially overcome apocalyptic scenarios. It reveals that poetic and political pluralism serves as a transformative mechanism, facilitating the potential overcoming of apocalyptic threats. However, this overcoming is only achieved in the progressive model, which is marked by the adoption of a polytheistic political myth and a clear separation between the domains of politics and ethics. In contrast, the post-apocalyptic model is characterized by a radical proliferation of apocalyptic narratives, which leads to the normalization and institutionalization of a metaphorical ‘worldly hell.' In this context, the political and eschatological are reconstituted within the economic domain, signaling a shift to a new cultural and ideological paradigm dominated by capitalist ideology.

“…Two main topics haunt his work: first the question of the origin of politics and second the evolution of politics and the necessity of finding a new vocabulary. This last work on political ontology (Esposito 2020b;Esposito 2021) does not deviate from these two topics, and if anything, it is a summative work and one with extraordinary ambition: providing the outline of a new political ontology which is defined by the invention of new institutions.…”
