Historical Formations of Spatial Knowledge
Advanced School, March 9-13, 2025
Israel Institute for Advanced Studies, Jerusalem
This 5-day Advanced School for graduate students and recent PhDs will explore the formation and exchange of spatial knowledge in a global context, ca. 1000-1900. Through site visits and critical, interdisciplinary reading of documents and objects, including cosmographies, maps, city plans, travel narratives, and epics, the School aims to investigate the development of geographical concepts as a process conditioned by political, social, and cultural contexts. In studying spatiality as a process, we emphasize change, controversy and transmission between eras and cultures. We focus on knowledge, imaginaries and ideas while, at the same time, proposing to abandon the unity and fixity normally associated with the notion of a ‘worldview’. While the ‘spatial turn’ is no longer in the headlines of research in the humanities, its fruitful ongoing influence promotes a rich and diverse engagement with the topic. Keynote lectures will provide a common starting point. During the School, an international group of leading scholars will organize and lead discussions and hands-on sessions and advise on individual projects. Participants will have an opportunity to introduce their research to the community (likely in a poster session or pre-circulated papers). The School aims to engage emerging scholars with new research in the field and to introduce a wide range of methodological approaches, questions and outcomes, including in digital humanities. We welcome projects rooted in or with connections to the period between 1000 and 1900, and that are open in focus on regions, and cultures. We will make ample use of the rich documentary collections available in Jerusalem (archival, manuscript, rare books, maps and atlases) and examine methodologies during one or two excursions that engage with the architecture, heritage and environment. We welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates.
