Historians have always been studying contested places. Most studies
of empires, ancient civilisations and cultures, of nation states,
wars and diplomatic relations involve conflicts about territory in
one way or another. However, it is only within the last 10-15 years
that place has been integrated in historical studies as a
theoretical and analytical concept. This volume offers 12 chapters
written by academic staff from the History Department at the
University of Southern Denmark which contribute to an increased
theoretical and methodological consciousness of place as a concept
and as an analytical tool within historical studies. The chapters
cover historical epochs reaching from a study of the battle of
Thermopylae in ancient Greece to a study of the contemporary debate
surrounding Ground Zero in New York. The volume may be used as a
text book in university courses dealing with territorial, cultural
and national interconnectedness and globalisation in both a
historical and a contemporary perspective.
