SFB 1199: Processes of Spatialization under the Global Condition

SFB 1199研究了空间化过程在全球条件下是如何变化的，以及当现有的空间形式被修改并合并成新的空间顺序时，作为条件基础的行动者如何产生新的空间格式。为了描述和解释这些转变，我们(最初)制定了一个术语，使我们能够区分(1)由各种社会互动产生的多层次空间化；(2)空间格式，其特征是(至少是中期的)建立/重复、制度化、(常规)表现和主体间反思，并在涉及想象力(描述和可视化)的实践中形成；这些范畴为我们提供了一个启发式和描述性的术语，可以用来描述和解释这些过程，尽管这些过程在时间和空间上相距遥远/差异很大，而且涉及不同的社会领域，如政治、行政、宗教、卫生、文学、科学、消费、移民、犯罪、经济和文化产业。在不同的子项目中，我们调查了从18世纪末开始的多个世界-区域背景下的大量空间格式以及长时间内空间秩序的变化。这种结合的方法和调查是实现SFB两个主要目标的前提：(1)系统地描述空间格式和(2)发展历史叙事，解释全球呼吸化时代空间秩序如何变化。

The SFB 1199 examines how processes of spatialization change under the global condition and how new spatial formats are produced by the actors underlying the condition while existing spatial for-mats are modified as well as merged into new spatial orders. In order to describe and explain these transformations, we have (initially) elaborated a terminology that allows us to distinguish between(1) the multilayered spatializations resulting from every kind of social interaction;(2) spatial formats, which are characterized by (at least medium-term) establishment/recurrence, institutionalization, (routine) performance, and intersubjective reflection, and which become established in a practice that involves imaginations (descriptions and visualizations); and(3) spatial orders, which are the outcome of negotiation processes involving differing spatial formats.These categories provide us with a heuristic and a descriptory terminology with which processes can be coherently described and explained despite being far from each other/diverging greatly in time and space as well as concerning different social domains such as politics, administration, religion, health, literature, science, consumption, migration, crime, the economy, and the culture industry.The SFB combines an empirically oriented, inductive approach with a conceptual and systematic orientation. In the different subprojects, we investigate a large number of spatial formats in multiple world-regional contexts and the transformation of spatial orders over a long period of time, beginning in the late 18th century. This combined approach and investigation act as the precondition for achieving the SFB’s two main goals:(1) a systematic description of spatial formats and(2) the development of a historical narrative explaining how spatial orders change in times of global respatialization.
