Beskrivning

Spaces of negotiation in politics, law, education, and administration are shaped by their architectural environments, artworks, and elaborate interior designs, as well as by rituals, ceremonies, and processes of imagination. Drawing on art history, legal history, and literary studies, this volume analyses the virtual potential of various spaces that require both a normative framework and an imaginary dimension to allow different potential outcomes to be envisaged. The contributions reflect on the dynamics of early modern virtuality and offer insights into collective spaces such as town halls, churches, courtrooms, and imaginary environments created through printed images and architectural models.
