Travelling Notions of Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Europe
Hannu Salmi, Asko Nivala, Jukka Sarjala (eds.): Travelling Notions of Culture in Early Nineteenth-Century Europe. Routledge, New York 2015, PREVIEW / ORDER.
The notions of culture and civilization are at the heart of European self-image. This book focuses on how space and spatiality contributed to defining the concepts of culture and civilization and, conversely, what kind of spatial ramifications ‘culture’ and ‘civilization’ entailed. These questions have vital importance to the understanding of this formative period of modern Europe.
