About

Global and Area Studies at Leipzig University is a collaborative research centre that examines modern history up to the present day, with a focus on the role of new spatializations in shaping social interactions and social change.

Overview

About the programme

The Global and Area Studies programme at Leipzig University examines how processes of spatialization change under the global condition and how new spatial formats are produced by actors within the global condition while existing spatial formats are modified as well as merged into new spatial orders.

To describe and explain these transformations, we have developed a terminology to distinguish between

  • the multilayered spatializations resulting from social interactions;
  • spatial formats, which are characterized by (at least medium-term) establishment, institutionalization, (routine) performance, and intersubjective reflection; and
  • spatial orders, which are the outcome of negotiation processes involving different spatial formats.

Programme Structure

Research projects include:

  • Spheres of Production and Circulation: Mass Culture between Europe and North America, 1830s to 1930s
  • Innovative Technology Enterprises in Unlikely Places in Central Asia and Africa
  • Digital Governance and the Respatialization of the Indian Nation State
  • Chinese Engineers and their Spatial Imaginations: Architects of an Interconnected Nation, 1906–1937
  • “Free Radicals”? Political Mobilities and Post-Colonial Processes of Respatialization in the Second Half of the 20th Century
