Add to basketGlobalization, as it is conceptualized in the early twenty-first century, is undergoing significant transformations. While we continue to live in a globalized world where markets, technologies, and cultures remain deeply interconnected, we are also confronted with trade wars, global health crises, technological decoupling, and escalating environmental damage. Traditional theories of globalization are insufficient to fully analyze these shifts. Drawing on empirical research from the Re-Figuration of Spaces Collaborative Research Center, the book tests the interplay between analytical, narrative, and visual thinking, translating theoretical figures of thought into spatial stories. Three-dimensional table configurations by Nikolaus Gansterer allow the reader to think visually while navigating the research topics. Atlas of Spatial Figures proposes new spatial imaginaries to better capture the complex realities of our world.
