Understanding space ethically through affect and emotion: From uneasiness to fear and rage in the city

- We discuss the phenomenon of the poor doors as outcome of London housing policies.
- We read the poor doors through the novel High Rise by J.G. Ballard.
- We interpret the poor doors and the novel through poststructuralist philosophy.
- We propose an affective and ethical reading of both the poor doors and the novel.
- We put forward a new ethical conceptualisation of space.
