Today's topic in my undergrad spatial history module is "Other Spaces," reflecting on what historians might gain from an examination of some unique specific spaces such as gates, bridges, walls, and elevators. Some works we discussed include:

- 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

Running 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: spatialhistory.net/guide/spati

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”:

Spent some time revisiting medieval St Andrews and the amazing John Geddy map (c. 1580’s), and was lucky to have some unbelievably fitting views!

The most amazing views across the North Channel near Glenarm, Co. Antrim looking over to Scotland. The best sort of inspiration for writing about early medieval connectivity across this highly fragmented and intensely connected land-and-sea-scape.

Not 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

Been 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. This evening I started and been thoroughly enjoying

New self-intro (from new server) for and . My work has explored the social history of modern Japan and its empire, particularly through a focus on transgression and marginality. I've moved increasingly into , as you can see in my last book Japan's Imperial Underworlds (2018). I'm currently working on maritime labor and infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific in the 1950s-60s, during the Cold War and Bandung eras.
