About this book

New Series

This volume works through spatio-temporal concepts to be found in imperial practices and their representations in a wide range of media. The individual cases investigated in the volume cover a broad spectrum of historical periods from ancient times up to the present. Well-known international scholars treat special cases of the topic, using cutting-edge theory and approaches stemming from historical, cartographic, religious, literary, media studies, as well as ethnography.

Reviews

"Der Band versammelt eine Fülle vorzüglicher Fallstudien, die zeigen, wie im Zuge imperialen Strebens neuartige Raum/Zeit-Konstellationen entstanden. Er leistet einen interessanten Beitrag zur Erschließung eines vielversprechenden Forschungsfeldes. Da er gleichzeitig eine neue Schriftenreihe eröffnet, darf man auf weitere Publikationen gespannt sein."
Ulrike Kirchberger in: Historische Zeitschrift 307 (2018), 753-755
