In this paper, we put forward an examination of the interconnections between public space, the everyday, and the event in order to rethink the spatiotemporal modalities of political action. Recent mass mobilisations and civil unrest events around the globe have brought to the fore the complex relationship between political practices and public space. These indicate a critique of representative democracy, authoritarian governance, and precarious living conditions, as well as entailing new ways of doing and conceptualising politics. Our paper approaches the production and (re)configuration of public space through a spatiotemporal analysis of collective action based on the events that took place in Athens, in December 2008, and in Tottenham, London, in August 2011. By considering the everyday socio-political dynamics of public space as formative of radical political practices, we also pay attention to its evental (re)production. Such a process, we argue, entails the potentiality for rupture, contestation and radical imagination.

日常与最终公共空间：重新思考激进政治事件的时空形态

在本文中，我们提出了对公共空间、日常生活和事件之间相互联系的研究，以重新思考政治行动的时空模式。最近全球范围内的大规模动员和内乱事件凸显了政治实践与公共空间之间的复杂关系。这些表明对代议制民主、威权治理和不稳定的生活条件的批判，以及对政治的新做法和概念化提出了批评。我们的论文基于 2008 年 12 月在雅典和 2011 年 8 月在伦敦托特纳姆发生的事件，通过对集体行动的时空分析来探讨公共空间的生产和（重新）配置。通过将公共空间的日常社会政治动态视为激进政治实践的形成，我们也关注其最终（再）生产。我们认为，这样的过程需要破裂、争论和激进想象的可能性。
