SUMMARY:[Historikertag 2025] Micropolitics of Landscape. Power and Control in the Invisible Spaces (1750–1950s)
DESCRIPTION:Landscapes have long served as more than mere physical terrains; they are dynamic arenas where sovereignty, cultural identity and power are negotiated and contested across epochs. Yet beneath these grand narratives lies a hidden history of smaller, seemingly insignificant spaces—viewpoints, walking paths, water channels, rural boundaries and infrastructural byways—that were central to the exercise of subtle forms of control. This transepochal panel explores how these “invisible” landscapes became sites of micropolitical power between 1750 and the 1950s, revealing the mechanisms by which control over land, water and access shaped and underlined approaches to social order and sovereignty on local, regional and national scales. Drawing on case studies from across Europe, the contributions investigate how local conditions served as instruments of authority and regulation or as places of resistance and resilience. By bringing attention to the micropolitics of landscape – often overlooked in discussions of landscape and power (Mitchell, Warnke, Guldin) – this panel uncovers the micro-architectures of power that sustained broader systems of governance, offering a new perspective on the relationship between space, authority and sovereignty in European history. 
To facilitate an engaging and thought-provoking discussion, the three presentations will be given consecutively, each lasting 15 minutes. Art historian Prof. Dr. Vera-Simone Schulz (Leuphana University of Lüneburg), an expert in transcultural landscape history, will select micropolitical intersections from the talks and moderate a 45-minute discussion with the panelists and the audience.
