Travelling Notions of Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Europe
The notions of culture and civilisation are at the heart of the European self-image. This book focuses on how space and spatiality contributed to defining the concepts of culture and civilisation and, conversely, what kinds of spatial ramifications culture and civilisation 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, civilisation and Bildung, and how were these sites employed in defining these concepts? What kinds 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 civilisation and its sites, the emerging urbanism and 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 emphasises the production of space in an era of technological innovation and change.
