multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis

2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press

One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly divers...
