In diesem Band geht es um Raumzeit-Konzepte imperialer Herrschaftspraktiken von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart und ihre Repräsentationen in verschiedensten Medien.

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.
