Working Group: Space
The working group on "space" examines spatial dynamics in situations of accelerated, radical or violent change. It takes its departure from the insight that representations do not arise and circulate in a vacuum, but are also spatially configured.
The working group investigates the category of space from a variety of different perspectives, particularly focusing on the following topics:
- urban spaces and urban topology;
- symbolic investments into spaces;
- the management of spaces imagined as political territories or nations;
- movements of actors and actants (such as travellers, knowledge, objects) through space;
- spatial materiality;
- relationships between social differentiation and functional allocation in spatial terms.
