This volume launches a new, eight-volume series entitled Theatrum
Scientiarum on the history of science and the media which has
arisen from the work of the Berlin special research project on
"Performative Cultures" under the aegis of the Theatre Studies
Department of the Free University. The volume examines the role of
space in the constitution of knowledge in the early modern age.
"Kunst-kammern" (art and curiosities cabinets), laboratories and
stages arose in the 17th century as instruments of research and
representation. There is, however, still a lack of precise
descriptions of the epistemic contribution made by material and
immaterial space in the performance of knowledge. Therefore, the
authors present a novel view of the conditions surrounding the
creation of these spatial forms. Account is taken both of the
institutional framework of these spaces and their placement within
the history of ideas, the architectural models and the modular
differentiations, and the scientific consequences of particular
design decisions. Manifold paths are followed between the location
of the observer in the representational space of science and the
organization in time and space of sight, speech and action in the
canon of European theatrical forms. Not only is an account given of
the mutual architectural and intellectual influence of the spaces
of knowledge and the performance spaces of art; they are also
analyzed to ascertain what was possible in them and through them.
This volume is the English translation of Kunst-Kammer,
Laboratorium, Buhne (de Gruyter, Berlin, 2003).
