Zusammenfassung: "With its rapid industrialization, modernization, and gradual democratization, Imperial Germany has typically been understood in secular terms.

Jeder Ort, jeder Körper steht in Verbindung zu anderen und wird erst in diesem Gefüge von Relationen zu sich selbst. Dieser Band entwirft Fluchtlinien im Doing Space while Doing Gender. In einem ersten Buchteil stellen Beiträge zentrale Begriffe wie »Exposure«, »Materialität« oder »Transsektionalität« vor. Ein zweiter Buchteil versammelt Studien - etwa zum Heiratsmarkt Ende des 19.
