Spaces, like objects, have been receiving increased attention for some time now - not least as a reaction to societal and cultural transformations. However, this also reflects a shift from the subject of investigation to the category of analysis, as Doris Bachmann-Medick suggests.

The exemplary studies in this volume traverse space and trace the path of objects. The various approaches from different disciplines lead to particularly promising findings.
