The notions of culture and civilization are at the heart of
European self-image. This book focuses on how space and spatiality
contributed to defining the concepts of culture and civilization
and, conversely, what kind of spatial ramifications "culture" and
"civilization" entailed. These questions have vital importance to
the understanding of this formative period of modern Europe. The
chapters of this volume concentrate on the following themes: What
were the sites of culture, civilization and Bildung and how were
these sites employed in defining these concepts? What kind of
borders did this process of definition and its inherent spatial
imagination produce? What were the connecting routes between the
supposed centers and peripheries? What were the strategies of
envisioning, negotiating and transforming cultural territories in
early nineteenth-century Europe? This book adds new perspectives on
ways of approaching spatiality in history by investigating, for
example: the decisive role of the French revolution, the persistent
interest in classical civilization and its sites, emerging urbanism
and the culture of the cities, the changing constellations between
centers and peripheries and the colonial extensions, or
transfigurations, of culture. It also pays attention to the
spatiality of culture as a metaphor, but simultaneously emphasizes
the production of space in an era of technological innovation and
change.
