Abstract:
Topoi research group B-4 Space – Identity – Locality focuses its research on
the interconnections between knowledge, space and identities. A multiplicity
of sources – texts, images, architecture and objects – are analyzed both in
their historical context and for their historiographic value. Following a
brief description of the projects, key concepts of knowledge, space and
identity are outlined as they relate to our specific research themes. We use
‘trialectics’ to emphasize that knowledge, space and identity constitute and
influence each other. Concrete configurations of this constantly changing
interplay of factors are illustrated by two case studies – the ritual
compositions from Kizzuwatna (present southern Turkey) and the coin hoard of
Krepost (present Bulgaria).
