Synopsis

Essay from the year 2023 in the subject History - Miscellaneous, grade: 2,0, University of Exeter (History Department), course: Empire and Globalisation, language: English, abstract: The experiences of acceleration and globalisation could also be responsible for the "disappearance" of space as a category. The fact that the world and its dimensions are shrinking and that everything is, in a sense, merging and disappearing into one another through a constant acceleration of events, has given rise to the misunderstanding that space has lost its meaning. Especially in globalisation research, therefore, the urgency of the new concept of space became apparent. With events such as the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the vulnerability of physical space emerged as a kind of "master narrative".
