While we continue to live in a globalized world where markets, technologies, and cultures remain deeply interconnected, we are also confronted with trade wars, global health crises, technological decoupling, and escalating environmental damage. Traditional theories of globalization are insufficient to fully analyze these shifts. Drawing on empirical research from the Re-Figuration of Spaces Collaborative Research Center, the book tests the interplay between analytical, narrative, and visual thinking, translating theoretical figures of thought into spatial stories. Three-dimensional table configurations by Nikolaus Gansterer allow the reader to think visually while navigating the research topics. \u003cem\u003eAtlas of Spatial Figures\u003c\/em\u003e proposes new spatial imaginaries to better capture the complex realities of our world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSignificant contribution to the transformation of spatial thinking \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComprises sixteen research projects from the fields of sociology, anthropology, geography, communication studies, architecture, planning, and visual arts \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eInnovative visualization techniques including sixteen mixed-media table configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIgnacio Farías\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Urban Anthropology at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin.
