Spaces are not just there, but are created by the conditions and possibilities offered by medial communication. They can also not be regarded independently of their perception. These are the guiding principles of this volume’s papers whose authors trace concepts of space between the 18th and 20th century. The role of the body and the senses is taken into account as is the meaning of the medial quality of the room, as well as supposedly new forms of energy and states of medial trance. Between physiology and physics, electricity and ecstasy, the communicative space in Modernism is revealed. German text.


English summary: Spaces are not just there, but are created by the conditions and possibilities offered by medial communication. They can also not be regarded independently of their perception. These are the guiding principles of this volume’s papers whose authors trace concepts of space between the 18th and 20th century. The role of the body and the senses is taken into account as is the meaning of the medial quality of the room, as well as supposedly new forms of energy and states of medial trance. Between physiology and physics, electricity and ecstasy, the communicative space in Modernism is revealed. German description: Raume sind nicht einfach vorhanden, sondern werden erst durch die Bedingungen und Moglichkeiten medialer Ubertragung geschaffen. Sie sind auch nicht unabhangig von ihrer Wahrnehmung zu denken. Diese Leitgedanken verbinden die Beitrage des Bandes, dessen Autorinnen und Autoren sich auf die Spuren von Raumvorstellungen zwischen dem 18. und dem 20. Jahrhundert begeben. Die Rolle von Korper und Sinnen wird dabei ebenso in den Blick genommen wie die Bedeutung der Medialitat des Raums, vermeintlich neuer Energieformen und medialer Trancezustande. Zwischen Physiologie und Physik, Elektrizitat und Ekstase entfalten sich die Ubertragungsraume der Moderne.
