The aim of this inquiry is to retrieve and rethink in terms of social theory the submerged and equivocal spatialities operant in Badiou’s work. I foreground its topological dimension by examining the implications of two critical commentaries on Badiou’s work by Juliet Flower MacCannell and Norman Madarasz. I suggest some new directions for theoretical research in the social sciences from a critically appropriated space-syntax perspective which discloses elective affinities between Badiou and Durkheim.
