Konrad M. LawsonToday's topic in my undergrad spatial history module is "Other Spaces," reflecting on what historians might gain from exploring gates, bridges, walls, and elevators. Some works we discussed include:- Simmel’s ‘Bridge and Door’ - The Strait Gate by Daniel Jütte - Corridors: Passages of Modernity by Roger Luckhurst - Of Bridges: A Poetic and Philosophical Account by Thomas Harrison - Lifted: A Cultural History of the Elevator by Andreas Bernhard<a href="https://social.coop/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histodons</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/spatialhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spatialhistory</a>

Konrad M. LawsonRunning a class today with masters students on “spatial imaginaries”. We tried to offer an introduction and via footnotes some readings on the concept (aka “mental maps”) in our Guide to Spatial History here: <a href="https://spatialhistory.net/guide/spatial-imaginaries.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spatialhistory.net/guide/spatial-imaginaries.html</a>Said’s Orientalism is the most famous example but other examples we’ll talk about today: “the West”, “Eastern Europe” and Japanese imaginaries of “Southeast Asia”:<a href="http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/political-spaces/riccardo-bavaj-the-west-a-conceptual-exploration" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/crossroads/political-spaces/riccardo-bavaj-the-west-a-conceptual-exploration</a><a href="http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/theories-and-methods/mental-maps/frithjof-benjamin-schenk-mental-maps-the-cognitive-mapping-of-the-continent-as-an-object-of-research-of-european-history" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ieg-ego.eu/en/threads/theories-and-methods/mental-maps/frithjof-benjamin-schenk-mental-maps-the-cognitive-mapping-of-the-continent-as-an-object-of-research-of-european-history</a><a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780429291739-17/regional-imaginaries-konrad-lawson?context=ubx&refId=e6fc684b-34d7-4658-b9f0-336d5a34d741" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9780429291739-17/regional-imaginaries-konrad-lawson?context=ubx&refId=e6fc684b-34d7-4658-b9f0-336d5a34d741</a><a href="https://social.coop/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histodons</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/spatialhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spatialhistory</a>

Konrad M. LawsonNot that anyone was asking but if you always show up ridiculously early for flights (thanks dad) or have long delays it is 0.7km walk end to end inside gate area of Edinburgh airport and 1.15km from A23 corner to C61 corner of London Heathrow Terminal 5 via -4 level super tunnel (avoiding moving walkways but need to hit a few escalators and an elevator). Oh, and if you want a fun book to reflect on during your walk laps try “Corridors: Passages of Modernity” by Roger Luckhurst <a href="https://social.coop/tags/spatialhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spatialhistory</a>

Konrad M. LawsonI was wondering if anyone has suggestions for history and work in other disciplines related to household appliances, or, separately, the kitchen as a space 19-20c? I have a few on my list but would love to learn more.One example of a work that I especially liked was: More Work For Mother: The Ironies Of Household Technology From The Open Hearth To The Microwave by Ruth Schwartz Cowan (1985)<a href="https://social.coop/tags/histodons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histodons</a> <a href="https://social.coop/tags/spatialhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spatialhistory</a>

Konrad M. LawsonBeen reading lots of fun work on history of coffeehouses, cabarets, alehouses and taverns of late, expanding some further reading materials offering contrasts and comparisons for spring teaching session on teahouses and social spaces in East and Southeast Asian history.
