SFB 1265: Re-Figuration of Spaces

协作研究中心1265将当前社会的空间重新排序过程作为“空间的重新塑造”进行调查。它将社会性视为一种本质上的空间现象，试图发展一种基于经验的当代社会变化理论，将社会变化视为一种过程的、空间沟通的重构形式。在第一个资助阶段，儿童基金会的工作重点是阐述与社会空间性相关的社会理论的基本概念，并经验地确定重构的质量特征。这一实证分析对跨语境化、中介化和多元语境化这三个敏感概念进行了深入的阐释。儿童权利委员会确定了四个社会主导的空间人物：领土空间、网络空间、轨迹空间和地点。对于第二个资助阶段，已经概述了三个关键优先事项：研究将(1)。强调冲突在空间构建过程中的作用，特别是在不同空间图形之间和不同空间图形之间的冲突。这种内在的冲突理论焦点是(2)。与深入探讨多语境化现象及其主观管理方式有关。这些实证研究包括识别和区分新出现的空间秩序的任务。第一阶段的洞察表明，尽管重构过程在质量特征上有一定的相似之处，但由于不同空间图形之间的紧张关系，也存在着关键的差异。儿童权利委员会将着眼于这些相似之处和不同之处，以及在全球不同社会所研究的空间之间的多重相互联系，继续系统地追求其关于(3)的比较观点。多重空间性。在方法论上，这种方法允许我们在不同的尺度上探索社会重塑的趋同和分歧，而不必事先将所研究的空间识别为明确划分的或独立的实体。因此，《儿童权利公约》解释了--有时是相互冲突的--多种空间知识、空间行动和空间制度，以便对这些概念有更细微的了解。除了用于研究重组的定性方法外，儿童权利中心还将通过纳入更多的定量数据和混合方法研究来进一步扩大其曲目。通过利用面板数据和空间数据等创新组合以及新的绘图程序，儿童权利委员会将继续推进其在制定以社会科学为基础的空间研究方法的第一个资助期内为自己设定的任务。社会学、地理学、传播学、规划学、建筑学和艺术学学者之间成功的跨学科合作将得到发扬光大。人类学代表着这一跨学科框架的新成员

The Collaborative Research Center 1265 investigates current processes of the spatial reordering of society as a "re-figuration of spaces". Conceiving of sociality as an essentially spatial phenomenon, it seeks to develop an empirically-based theory of contemporary social change that views social change as a form of processual, spatial-communicative refiguration.In the first funding phase, the CRC’s work focused on elaborating basic concepts of social theory related to the spatiality of society, and on empirically identifying the qualitative features of refiguration. This empirical analysis advanced an in-depth specification of the sensitizing concepts translocalization, mediatization and polycontexturalization. The CRC identified four socially dominant spatial figures: territorial space, network space, trajectorial space, and place.For the second funding phase, three key priorities have been outlined: Research will (1.) highlight the role of conflicts in processes of spatial construction, particularly in and between different spatial figures. This inherently conflict-theoretical focus is (2.) linked to an in-depth exploration of the phenomenon of polycontexturalization and the way it is subjectively managed. These empirical investigations include the task of identifying and differentiating new emerging spatial orders.Insights gained during the first phase have made it clear that though refiguration processes share certain similarities with regards to their qualitative features, there are also crucial differences resulting from tensions between the different spatial figures. Focusing on these similarities and differences, as well as the multiple interconnections between the spaces studied in widely different societies around the globe, the CRC will continue to systematically pursue its comparative perspective concerning (3.) multiple spatialities. Methodologically, this approach allows us to explore both social convergences and divergences of refiguration on different scales without having to ex ante identify the spaces under study as clearly demarcated or independent entities. The CRC thereby accounts for the –at times conflictual– plurality of spatial knowledges, spatial actions and spatial regimes in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of these concepts. In addition to qualitative methods used to study refiguration, the CRC will further expand its repertoire by incorporating more quantitative data and mixed methods research. By utilizing innovative combinations, such as panel data and spatial data, alongside novel mapping procedures, the CRC will continue to advance the task it set itself during the first funding period of developing methods of social-science-based spatial research. The successful interdisciplinary collaboration between scholars of sociology, geography, communication studies, planning studies, architecture and the arts will be carried forward. Anthropology represents a new addition to this interdisciplinary framework
